[pianotech] New FR bushings / Action Reg Effect

[Steven Hopp]

Terry,

 

Good point.  Honestly, I have these great punchings and I want to put them on my piano which I care for like a family member without having to change the regulation.  I just want to "feel" if I can tell a difference without the extra work.  Lazy I know....but it's more an issue of time. What might I expect to feel in the playing that could not be attributed to the new punchings but more or less dip depending?  

 

I may be really reaching here but just wondering if anyone has some experience.  

 

by the way what I am hoping to feel is a more supported, cushioned, softer, quieter, (all not descriptive enough) blow at the end of the keystroke.  I hope that makes sense.

 

Any help to my wonderings is appreciated.

Well, if you start with a decently regulated action and change the key dip, it won't be decently regulated any more.
 
Am I missing something here?

List,
 
I ordered a few sets of the crescendo FR straight and conical punchings.  Assuming an action is in good regulation, what is the effect on that regulation of replacing the punchings now on the piano without changing anything else.  I guess I'm wondering what changing key dip does to a decently regulated action.
 
I have changed my models punching but I am not noticing much change.
 
Thanks,
