[CAUT] change in vocing

[David Love]

Individual hammers changing that seemed to need voicing while the others
that didn't, didn't?  I don't know, seems unlikely.  With six months of
playing time on the piano since the last look at voicing it's pretty hard to
try and isolate the issue.

I'm sorry, but I haven't been following the recent posts on voicing, so if
my question has been answered, please forgive me, and I'll read the archives

 

One of my regular customers bought a new Seguri Kawai SG2 a year and a half
ago. Shortly after she got it, someone from the factory came and did the
concert prep, including voicing. Six months ago I tuned it for the first
time, and noticed several notes could have used some tweeking as far as the
voicing was concerned. She could not hear it until I pointed it out to her,
and we agreed that I would do that at the next tuning, which was today. But
as I was tuned, I could not hear any notes that needed voicing.

 

Back in my Alabama days, someone brought this up for discussion, and I think
I remembered reading that voicing can change over a period of time,
especially if there is a lot of humidity changes. But that is not what is
happening here. Unlike most homes in Hawaii, this customer keep her house
air conditioned all year long. 

 

So what else could be happening here? Or is it normal for hammers to go in
and out like this?
