Dean Dean May cell 812.239.3359 PianoRebuilders.com 812.235.5272 Terre Haute IN 47802 _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Dornfeld Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 10:24 PM To: pianotech Subject: Re: [pianotech] Rendering problem Some of the lubricants mentioned may help, but too often it won’t make enough difference. Developing a hammer lever technique for these pianos will make a bigger difference. Please do not read this as “your hammer technique stinks.” Different pianos require different techniques. You might want to check out Different Strokes - Hammer Techniques for Piano Technicians by Ken Burton, RPT. It is available from Randy Potter, see pianotuning.com/products/books.htm. Ken looks at 24 different techniques. You don’t need all of them in your repertoire, but several are for pianos like you describe.
