[CAUT] Friday puzzler: Won't play on hard blow

[Marcel Carey]

Then it has to be the back checks that were rubbing on the hammer tails on a hard blow.The only way to test for this is to put pressure on the hammers while depressing the keys. You can feel the friction.

Dan,












This was Terry Farrell's initial guess over on pianotech, and one of the two most common causes of this problem, in my experience.  But, in this case, that's not it.

Alan,












You may find that the jack is cheating and if so turn it back in small increments until it plays on the hardest blow.

 List, 






 


 


The problem: There were a couple of notes that, when played really hard, would not speak at all (no repeated playing of the note involved).  Other than that, these notes work just fine.  This was something I had never seen before, so it took a few seconds longer than usual to figure out what was going wrong.  Any ideas about what it was?


 






 


 


Have a great weekend,
