Original message From: "Alan Barnard" To: Pianotech Received: 9/22/2005 9:08:24 PM Subject: Case of Disappearing Sound This is the first time I've seen this; it may be instructive for somebo= dy ... Bichord bass note (that's a clue) on an upright piano (Ding, ding, ding= , another clue) played just swell on a firm blow, but on a soft blow it= made almost no sound at all, just disappeared into nothingness. Major clue: Fixed it with a drop of liquid on the end of the the long s= kinny screwdriver I carry for removing damper heads and such. Lieutenant Colonal Clue: There was nothing wrong or badly regulated wit= h the key, capstan, wippen, jack, butt, hammer, or anything associated = with those items, such as bridle strap, etc. Obfuscating Field Marshall Clue: When the note played properly, i.e., o= n a firm-ish blow, the damper lifted, seated, and damped beautifully, n= o problems.
