Hi List

Tuned a new Yamaha today.  Hitting the note hard it stopped playing. The =
key
capstain slid off the wippen and jamed between wippens.

Capstain to whippen (for the Europeans on the list) line up was out but =
was
not that bad. On this particular note it was centred on 1/3 of wippen
instead of half, but that should still not slip. Capstain travel was =
towards
the right, possibly all the capstains are going to play up if the =
keboard
was fited to far to the left and the capstains just alligned to the =
wippens
without checking the travel.

I have seen worse still working so what is different. ?

Not sure but, the capstains seem to be of a new material and new design.
Plastic material appears to be very slippery and the curvature at the =
top of
the capstain is (to me) too much.

Tuned too many pianos today so the head is fuzzy.  Check it out it could =
be
a problm of the future.
