[pianotech] S & S Bearings...was Punching Trick???

[David Love]

I've heard of people removing the bearing and increasing the key height
proportionally to reduce flexibility.  Going the other direction seems like
it could be a problem.

What about the key height?

On a related note, has anyone retrofitted a standard keyboard with S&S

bearings? How much difference did it make and how much trouble was it?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer any of these.

 

I have done that on two pianos. One was the Irish P.O.S. with all plastic
parts, including keys. I liked the concept and found that it worked well in
that application. The only thing needed that would be out of the ordinary is
the longeer balance rail pins. Made a good retrofit project.
