[CAUT] Steinway S damper timing problem

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Dave

It did indeed, but unfortunatly putting it back in place didnt change 
the situation. In fact I ended up simply removing the push rod takeing 
the pedal system totally out of the picture... damper tray underside 
resting on the dags with a very little bit of lost motion between the 
tray and underside of the damper levers.. no real change.  Either the 
things are regulated waaay low... or for some reason the key bed is 
high. Couldnt figure it while I was there but will see the piano again 
after new parts arrive

Thanks muchly tho.

Cheers
RicB


    Ric:

    I'd bet the damper tray pitman came out of it's hole and is pressing
    on the
    damper tray directly.  That changes the timing obviously.  It
    happens a lot
    when one is moved professionally or otherwise.
