You youngsters are just too inexperienced to know about these things. This was a technique actually promoted for a time back in the dark days of piano technology as a means of "increasing downbearing." I can remember going to a class taught by someone whose name I no longer remember-probably wouldn't say even if I did-in which this was suggested even when the piano was being "rebuilt." Bad idea then; bad idea now. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Tom Gorley Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 9:14 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] What the.....? My first guess is lack of sound due to no downbearing. A tuner probably experimented with one string and it helped enough to do the rest of the bass. ---Tom Gorley On Jan 17, 2011, at 9:04 AM, mick johnson wrote: Came across this in an old Mason&Hamlin B today. <IMG_20110117_102535.jpg> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
