[CAUT] Baldwin SD

[Jim Busby]

Fred,

 

Please do (post). My gauge died and I'd like to build something like it.

 

BTW, thanks for the feedback on the perf. piano thing. I'm going to
stick with "diversity" but I'll put Steinway hammers back on the
Steinways instead of other hammers. I think that's a good point. So,
I'll have 2 Ms and a Baldwin L, Kawai GS-40, M&H A, and a Yamaha C3. 

 

Regards,

Jim Busby

Thanks, Ron. That's very helpful. The cumulative loss of compression
would be due to repeated cycling of high to low humidity, yes? Resulting
in crushed wood fiber structure?

            I'll start examining pianos with a little more care and
attention. Partly it's a question of knowing precisely what to be
looking at and listening for. And having the tools to measure. 

            BTW, I recently constructed a home made version of the
Lowell gauge (when I finally decided to spring for one a few years ago,
it had become unavailable). I'll post pictures for those interested.
