regulating Viennese actions

[Calin Tantareanu]

Hello!

A Viennese action should, if well regulated, be very pleasant to play, as it
allows great sensitivity. It's only drawback is the poor repetition.
There is a pretty good article on regulating the Viennese action at the
following address:

> My church has a Baumbach grand that was donated (and now I know why.)
I've

> (hammer moves up and away from you; damper lever is attached to the key).
> As you play, you can feel the dampers drop (our organist calls it her
> Tracker action.)

> The tone is very poor since the dampers sit low on the strings, and the
> slightest adjustment involves bending a wire on each key.  The dampers are
> mounted in a large frame that sits across all 88 strings, and lifts for
> service.

> If you have experience regulating these grands, I'd appreciate some
> information (and so would our congregation!).
