[pianotech] Ritmuller grand bridge problems

[Don Mannino]

Richard,

 

I have no experience with this particular brand or model, but this kind of
thing can happen on any piano - it's a screwup.

 

You should let the dealer know, or better still the manufacturer.  They will
most likely want to see this taken care of.

 

They are part of Pearl River.

Good morning list,

 

Last night I went out after my day at the shop to tune a Ritmuller GP148R1
purchased at a "University Sale Event" in 2005.  The action was a total
mess, no let off.  So I got the action working well enough to tune the
piano, put in the strip mute and noticed that the portion of the treble
bridge proximal to the speaking length, between notes 88 and about 80 was
torn loose, cracking along the bridge pin notching.   Piano has a
Dammp-Chaser system that the client says he faithfully keeps filled.

 

Anyway, has anyone had any similar problems with the make/model piano? Just
curious.

 

Thanks,

Richard Cromwell
