[pianotech] PUNCHING TRICK ???

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Barbara, I'm with you on this. If you going to go through the work of doing this, I think you should make it worth the effort. We always address the friction problems first, but if more is needed, you've got to do something that has more effect than 1 gram.

This is very effective and I'm in the process of doing this on a piano right now. I couldn't agree with you more, the gluing keeps the felt in the exact position to do the most good. I just tack it, makes it very easily to removed if you need to reverse the process.

  Hello Barbara,

     When I intend to change the touch I go for 5 grams.  
  It has been my experience that most people can tell
  a change of 5 gram.  

    I go for friction first,  if I am close I will then clip the 
  centers. If that does not do the job. I then look to weight.
    If this does not do the job then I go for leverage
     
      I generally rather make multi small changes than one
         large one.
     There are some exceptions the rule stated above.
  All of this is just common logic.

  The final judge is always the person that plays the Piano.

    Barbara,  the ego  that my Farther did't slap out of me
  a couple of drill Sergeants  kicked out of me in the
  early 50's.  For witch I am eternally grateful
           This is " the need " that I do not have.

  Regards
  Jack Wyatt
  Dallas,
