David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, California Original message From: "Joseph Alkana" To: Pianotech Received: 2/28/2006 5:47:58 PM Subject: Puzzeler from Seattle For the newbies, and seasoned vets to chuckle over: OK, here's a little mystery question for you regarding the weird feeli= ng action of a Small Baldwin grand piano. I arrived today for a regulation job at customer's house. Took a quick = tour of the action with my fingers, and proclaimed the action a mess. L= et off appeared to be about a half an inch from the strings, Drop was = really low and keys were pretty much evenly low from factory spec, but = just slightly, dip was a very fat 3/8". But here's the weird thing that= caught me off guard for a few mystifying moments: The hammers were alr= eady adjusted to be a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" and were pretty much in a good s= traight line. Yikes! I thought. Where am I going to get enough whippen lift from??? O= K, that was the quickie analysis. What was wrong with the action set up= as it was? Original hammers, and not too worn, by the way.
