[pianotech] In a quandry

[Gerald Groot]

I don't recommend leaving dampers leaking through.  I do work with what the
customer prefer's.  Generally, I prefer what specs call for within reason of
course.

Hi Jim,

Yes, she is complaining. Another tuner referred her to me. Hence the
situation where there is no history.



I dunno, seems pretty straight forward to me.  The problem is the damper
timing is poorly regulated.  A simple, unapologetic explanation of the
problem, the solution, and the likely change in touchweights should suffice.
If she wants the ringing fixed, she'll have to deal with the change in
action feel.  Don't make her problem your problem.  Just explain it and fix
it, or don't.  Her call.  This isn't to say you can't be somewhat
accommodating, and leave the timing on the early side, but I don't believe
I'd try for anything like what Gerald has described.  Leave a margin so you
don't have any bleeding, and still retain some of the resistance if that's
what she wants.

Good luck,
William R. Monroe
