  Subject: Viennese Grand Action Regulation


  Hello list,=20

  Just got through tuning a 200 cm Bechstein grand built in 1891.  All =
in all, it was a pretty sweet sounding piano.  Except for the action.  =
It's a viennese type action, and it's noisy.  I guess that's the nature =
of the beast.  =20

  I am curious if anyone can point me to information regarding the =
regulation of these actions.  The capstan arrangement seems =
unnecessarily complex.  And how does one align the jack to the knuckle?  =
Didn't have time to mess around with it, but I'm very curious about this =
piano.  And has anyone come up with a way to quiet the actions a bit?=20



I'm sure the restorers among us won't approve but the last one we did =
got a new keyset and Renner action stack. The owner is thrilled with his =
"new" piano.
