[pianotech] Hammer Butt Leather

[Gerald Groot]

Is the leather on this Kawai hard or worn?  Wondering about the reason for
replacement.  I have done these before.  But, on Baldwin's with the corfam
crud.  Turns out nice if you can get the old off, get it nice and clean and
the new leather nice and tight tucked up underneath the butt so nothing
hangs up.

Matthew,

Late 70's Baldwin? Corfam problem ?

More info needed please.

 

Assuming it is the corfam to be replaced with ecsaine  the old stuff on the
butt and catcher is noisy ,scratchy and clicky . Poor repetition also.

If you give us more we can give you more.

Best wishes .

Tom Driscoll

I will be sending a client a quote on replacing the hammer butt leather.

 

Can you all share with me, from a pianists stand point, what this client can
expect from new leather?  What she will feel as a difference from before?

 

Thanks!
