[pianotech] speaking of having no pin block..

[Kerry Cooper]

Wim and Marshall,

 

Sojin were made by Daewoo in Yeoju, Korea.  (Pearce Atlas)

 

Young Chang also used a practice rail that did not have a pedal or lever
mechanism.

Samick made some cheap pianos that had a mute rail that you have to push
down maually on the bass end. I wonder if this Sojin was made by them. There
is a bracket that catches on a post. Kind of hard to explain, but next time
you're at this piano look for it.

Hi Everyone,
Firs, I think my e-mail goofed and sent a blank message. Sorry about that.
I guess that adds a little twist to reading between the lines, and I
didn'teven include lines.
 
Someone mentioned a piano without a pin block, Wegman, or Waegman?  I think
we discussed this at school.  I ran into an interesting piano today. I tuned
a Sojin UGH  It had a muffler rail or practice rail as some call it, but I
couldn't find a pedal that activated it.  I was in a time crunch and had
another piano to tune, and I wanted to make certain I left with payment
getting all three done.  It was so odd, it only had two pedals a sustain and
soft pedal, but I couldn't find anything that would engage that rail.  I
even tried moving the soft pedal and sustain to one side when depressed to
see if there was any kind of locking mechinism.  It's not a big deal as they
don't use the piano much, but my curiosity has the best of me.
Marshall
