Bonjour à tous, Putting the small level on the strings of my Bluthner grand for the first time, I am surprised to see how much discrepancy there is from one note to the other. Each note has a different slant, albeit with pretty much all three strings of a trio being well on the same plane as much as I can tell. With the hook I can pull on strings to witness just how much effect that can have to bring more coherence, but it seems to me the agraffes themselves are not premitting the same level everywhere. Is it normal? I had done careful hammer to strings mating with amazing (to me) results. Now, of course, having pulled here and there, it's all over the place now! If I were to put new hammers in, I would want to start with much coherence in strings levels before mating hammers to strings, but is it always possible? often? rarely? never? The piano has not been tuned recently, should'nt all the strings have settled at the bend having been played and played? No, I can still pull them up a considerable bit. I read about pushing a string down if needed but can't believe we can bring them down at all...
