Sounds like lack of bearing. Are the notes near a plate strut? Loose rib, loose bridge.. Mick D -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of vinny samarco Sent: 11 May 2004 07:55 To: Pianotech Subject: What Is Wrong With These Notes? Hi Everyone, I have been working on a Whirlitzer which is about ten years' old. On the note A, (880) as well as the b flat and B natural above it, these notes almost sound like the letoff is adjust too closely, that is, they sounded almost totally damped. Any adjustment in letoff, does not change the sustain of these notes. these notes will only sustain about one quarter as much as the rest of the keyboard. I thought maybe it was the damper, so I pressed the damper pedal, and even held the dampers away from the strings, but the results were the same. Could this be a bridge or soundboard problem? Thank you for your help. Vinny Samarco _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
