Hello, everyone.
I just rebuilt a 1922 Krakauer 50" upright, and
am not entirely satisfied with the tone in the
tenor/treble areas ( bass is glorious! ). I used
hammers from a very nice fellow ( name withheld ), but
these areas are a bit "dull" and "thunky". Now, some
of this may be due to the very light, low tension
scale of this piano ( and correspondingly small ribs
), but I would like top "bring up" this area, and seek
advice regarding favorite methods. Acetone and
keytops? Lacquer? (What kind?) Pianotech's acrylic
pellets? Please advise.
Also: What hamers do you recommend for a big, old,
well-built American upright from WWI era?
Humbly,
Thump
P.S. As you hopefully have noticed, I've been keeping
politics and pets off my posts, so please reward me
with your heartfelt advice.
