CAUT

Last summer I replaced the hammers on a Yamaha C7 with Abel hammers. This is in a rehearsal room of a university and the floor is carpeted. To me the piano sounded great, but almost immediately the faculty said the piano was too soft. No power.  A couple of weeks ago I added a generous amount of B72 to the hammers, and the sound came alive. But now the complaint is that while the piano is loud enough, it is also thin and tinny. I need some advice as to how to keep the volume but get rid of the thin and tinny sound.
