[pianotech] relocate knuckles

[David Weiss]

This is a piano that had 10 hammer shanks with knuckles a different distance
than the other 78.  

 

I looked at the archives as others suggested and found the information I
needed about relocating knuckles.  However, I've decided  to buy 10 new
shanks with a knuckle distance to match the other 78.  For my purpose, it's
easier to re-hang 10 hammers than it would be to relocate 10 knuckles.

Are you doing this because you are replacing the original hammers with a
heavier one?  If so, it might make more sense to purchase a replacement
shank with a different  knuckle position.  Why are you choosing to move the
knuckles, and how are you determining where they should be when replaced?

List,

 

I want to change the position of the knuckles on some grand hammer shanks.
I know how to get the existing knuckles out, but I don't know how to
re-locate the slot the knuckle goes into.

 

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
