In daily training, if you want to improve the timbre of piano players, you can start from several aspects: First, you can start from changing the key-touching parts of your fingers. In daily finger training, you can touch the keys on the finger surface by touching the keys between fingers first. Every time you change the way your fingers touch the keys, the timbre of the piano will change slightly, because the more your fingers stand up when you play the piano, the more direct the stress on the keys and the brighter the timbre, and the timbre will become soft anyway.
