This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Arthur I solved this problem in a Steinway L by setting the dampers on a long = taper. I rigged a straight edge to catch the damper levers and raised = the treble end of the straight edge 1/8"higher than the bass. This made = the treble dampers follow the lift of the bass dampers while not = affecting the bicord/tricord dampers. The thump from quick pedaling was = significantly reduced and the dampers function well when slow pedaling = is done, also. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: ARTHUR CHICKERING=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 8:17 PM Subject: Steinway damper to string noise List, =20 Yesterday I came across a problem on a Steinway (M) 1926 that I was = tuning for the first time. The customer asked if I could take care of = the loud booming noise when the sustain pedal was released quickly after = being depressed. This was caused by the dampers dropping on the strings = all at once. I regulated the sustain pedal to remove any extra lost = motion. It did help but did not totally solve the problem. It is quite = annoying as it sounds almost like someone playing a bass drum with a big = soft drum beater. It is quite loud. =20 I was wondering if there is something I am overlooking as a solution = to this problem. Any solutions you could give me would be greatly = appreciated. =20 Thanks, =20 Arthur Chickering Rockland, ME. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
