If cautious EQ'ing does not help more richness could mean a bit of  
compression. The Logic compressor is quite good for small amounts on  
natural instruments.

Regarding Logic reverbs: which one did you use? Space Designer should  
work great. Maybe the Apple Matrix Reverb is clean enough, don't know.

If you want a third party synthetical reverb which is more or less  
specialized on acoustical instruments you might try these two:

Ambience
Freeware, recommended from Garritan.

ArtsAcoustic Reverb
190 USD/EUR, very good for almost all natural sounds.

Btw - if you own Ozone, try its reverb on the piano. It is clean and  
neutral.
