Here's a delightful discovery I made a few years back. Thankfully it was not plugged in.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 10:57 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tnrwim@aol.com">tnrwim@aol.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><font color="black" face="arial" size="2"> <div>Marshall</div> <div> </div> <div>The light in the bottom of the piano is an old trick, used by many older piano technicians who didn't know, or were to cheap, to buy damp chasers. They do about the same thing, except, unless the bulb is less than 50w, it would create too much heat, and concentrated too much in a small area, instead of uniformly across the width of the piano. I would receommend you sell him a 25w damp chaser to replace the light bulb. Also, when he moves the piano, you don't want to move the light bulb, because it will break, as where a damp chaser won't. </div> <div> </div> <div>The P2 problem was discussed just recently, but again, it could be that the hammer return butt spring loops are broken. This is hard to see, even for us sighted people. You will need to get your wife, or the customer, to look inside the action, behind the hammer butts, to see if the springs are "up", instead of attached to the loops. </div> <div> </div> <div>Willem <br> <br></div></font></blockquote></div><br>
