Quoting Lance Lafargue <lafargue at bellsouth.net>: > A "new" RPT tech working for me got a little excited about string > voicing and in the process of "tapping" down strings on a new piano, > went too far. The strings were hit in the speaking length segment, > in the direction of termination with the bridge pin V. In other > words, straightening the speaking length segment before it terminates > at the bridge pin. Consequently, there is a visible "dent/kink" in > the wire in the speaking length just before the bridge termination, > creating more false beats than the ones that were to be eliminated. > Is there a cure short of restringing that section? i.e., loosening > string and straightening wire with hook as good as possible and > retightening? Thanks. > > Lance Lafargue, RPT > LAFARGUE PIANOS, LTD > LPIANOS.com > lafargue at bellsouth.net > 4244 Hwy 22 Mandeville, LA 70471 > 985.72P.IANO Is the dent on only one of the strings leading up to the bridge, or on both, from the same wire? If it is only one, release the tesionon one side, and pull up the other side. Willem Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician School of Music University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, AL USA
