<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, I sent four =
pictures yesterday
afternoon to "files", but it still hasn't shown up on the =
list. Guess
the person in charge is busy. Anyway, I wanted to get moving on =
it.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yesterday I was going to be very near =
this
customers home, so I swung by and got some pictures. I should have =
mentioned earlier that though muting the duplex helps, I also have to =
keep on
top of the voicing. I didn't think much about the voicing since I =
have
frequently found that pianos that are approaching extremely bright sound =
will
have the sizzle and after voicing the sizzle isn't a =
problem.
The other reason I stay on top of the hammer shape especially, is =
in the
past this piano has had a problem with breaking strings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have tried pressing on the bridge =
pins, but it
didn't seem to make any difference--well, anyway it didn't help. I =
haven't
tried my vice-grips on them though. I had a bad CA glue day =
and used
CA on the bridge pins. I'm really embarrassed about that =
picture--I'm
usually more successful at keeping it under control. I would =
have
checked the down bearing, but was running errands and forgot to bring =
the tool
case with that gauge. Duh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, here are the first two pictures, =
the front
duplex angle and a bad picture of the length. I was going to write =
down
the lengths, but got distracted by some painters that were working =
at the
house. For some reason they thought I was there to chat. I =
should
have asked them to be quiet. Next time...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All suggestions and ideas are =
welcome. Next,
I'll send the other two pictures--under the capo/v-bar view and the
bridge.</FONT></DIV>
