Could you try a low-pass filter in line?  Pick the values of the components 
so the attenuation is increasing through the range of notes you want to 
play quieter.  As long as the cut-off is not sharp you should still be able 
to hear those notes...they just won't be as loud.  Any electronics homers 
out there who can suggest what circuit and values of capacitors, resistors, 
and inductors to use?
