Did you travel the hammer? Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Mililani, Oahu, HI 808-349-2943 Author of: The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Arlie Rauch <adarpub at midrivers.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:03 am Subject: [pianotech] Misaligned in Montana I was called to tune a new Kawai grand, and there was a complaint about one hammer. It was striking its neighboring string when affected by the una corda (only this one hammer did so). I loosened the offending flange screw, repositioned the flange/hammer slightly, and all worked well (this has often worked well in the past on other pianos). Several weeks later I hear the problem is back.? ? I don't want to repeat the same procedure with the same unsatisfactory results. I am thinking of what should be done: shim the flange, bend the shank, remove and remount the hammer a degree different, reposition the flange again and apply locktite, etc. What will bring about the proper and lasting result? Any proper and lasting ideas?? ? Arlie D Rauch? Glendive, MT? ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
