Hi Robin:
Could it be your strings?
Since string quality degrades slowly, we often don't notice it until it gets
really bad (kinda' like the frog that never jumps out of a pot slowly heated
to a boil [?]).
On more than one occasion I've been shocked by the improvement in my
mandolin's tone brought about simply by installing new, high-quality
strings.
Just a thought.
