<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Marvellous Bechstein model E (2m75) =
from
1928.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fantastic action, but one problem : the =
trebble
notes are VERY short (no sustain). I know that trebble sustain is =
not the
best thing in a Bechstein, but here it is obviously dramatic. The =
piano
has been restored 10 years ago, and the bridge apparently =
recapped. The
restorers have put varnish on the whole bridge. Does anyone know =
if that
varnish could be the cause of no sustain in trebble ? I am =
considering to
recap the bridge (though apart from the varnish, it looks kind of =
perfect),
and would like to know your expert advice before attempting =
this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks</FONT></DIV>
