That was the first thing I thought, my seats were visually great but I like 20 row+ with an orchestra but she confirmed exactly what I heard.
What is the sound of a harpsichord? Two skeletons having sex on a tin roof!

Unamplified Live music is a “reference” but you can still get weird sound. I recently saw the BSO with Gabriela Montero at the Strathmore. My seats were 10th row dead center, my mom (has a music degree in performance piano) was seated in the first balcony and we both thought the piano had a wierd thin, almost harpsichordy like sound to it? The performance was good overall and enjoyable but the piano sounded off.
Unfortunately the BSO keeps a Steinway for visiting artists. (I am not a fan) Back in the day they had a Bosendorfer that "sang" with an amazing sweet yet big voice.
Plus -- your Mom had better seats so I would blame the piano. Row 10 is about middle hall where there is a bass nul that would make anything sound thin.
