Here was the situation today:

-Well-known pianist coming into town playing on a piano I am not
familiar with..the regular tech just couldn't make the gig, so he called
me to do it.
-The piano is a S&S D and has been re-strung, new whips, hammers,
shanks..good work was done to it.
- The note left behind for me from the pianist when I arrived asked me
to do something with the repitition..it seemed 'sticky' and if I could
do anything about a few dampers..

-Well, not wanting to step on any toes, I learned, after I pulled the
action, that this Pianist likes active repitition, because what was
presented to me was in good working order. This Pianist has played on
the 'D' that I care for, and he loved it..I have the spring tension set
a little active on that one..and the action is a tad lighter on mine.

So .. I was able to quiet the dampers, but what to do about the
repitition request with little to no time to work with?

What I did was put some teflon powder on the knuckles hoping that would
make it feel lighter to him.

What would you have done?
