Beside, I don't like assist springs for touch reasons (less control). Isaac OLEG -----Message d'origine----- De : pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]De la part de Mark Dierauf Envoye : jeudi 4 decembre 2003 05:19 A : pianotech@ptg.org Objet : Squeeking rep lever springs on Tokiwa wips In the past year I installed two sets of "Miracle Wips", made by Tokiwa via Pianotek. Both sets quickly developed fairly noisy squeaks where the rep lever spring slides in the slot on the underside of the lever. I tried clear Teflon and protek, both on the spring and in the slot, which originally had painted on graphite. The springs are clean, and don't appear to have any loose or missing plating or corrosion, and I've looked with a microscope. Both pianos are in humidity-controlled environments. Both these sets are also plagued by "Suddenly Tight Center-Pin Syndrome" with friction jumping from 2 - 3 grams to 20 - 30 grams! After just spending several hours each on both pianos, pulling every wip and checking/repining flanges & jacks and lubing all the slots, the customer calls back to say: "Its baa-ack!" Has anyone ever run across this on any piano and found a permanent solution? - Mark ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
