Just down-voiced the hammers using a 3-needle tool on the crowns (set them to poke shallow, only about 1 cm...more than that can ruin them). Used a voicing block of wood for support. Squeezed 3-4 together at a time for further support and stabbed evenly around the crown anywhere from 15 times (low bass) to 5 times (high treble) until they felt consistent from hammer to hammer. Tested sound as I went.
Took the edge off the sound in my old, cinderblock home. Much softer on the ears.
