[pianotech] From soft to loud

[Matthew Todd]

How would you best tell a customer, who just says "how can you make my piano play more loud", that I can do it for over $1,000?

Agreed.  Only after making the piano perform as well as it can should you address the problem with traditional voicing techniques.  Hammer filing and a quality regulation can make a HUGE difference tonally and dynamically. 

Once that has been done, you can begin to assess if (and in what way) the dynamics or tone should be addressed.
