What procedure do you use to regulate pedals in an old player piano? I'm not sure if/where the Reblitz book says to do it -- I've looked but I'm still not sure. It's the kind of pedals with the metal rods going to the left of the pedals. For right now, I have several cloth balance rail and front rail punchings on the top of the sustain pedal rod. This works, but there's still room for improvement, and I don't have much more room for punchings. My soft pedal isn't working at all right now, seeing that I lost the pin on top which pokes into the hammer rail. Does anyone have an idea what it would cost to get another one? Or, can someone tell me how to make a pin for it? I would also like to regulate this pedal to be as effective as possible (even if it has excessive lost motion when the soft pedal is depressed), say, like 1/2" hammer blow, depending on the limit of the hammer rail distance -- there are some ~1" thick pads on the action support brackets that prevent the hammer rail from going as far as I might like. I don't need to have it super close, though -- I still want the hammers to fall back toward the hammer rail at rest, not toward the strings. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
