I just got a call from a client who said it sounded like there was =
cellophane in her piano when she played. It made her jump up and look to =
see what was "in there". She played a few bass notes over the phone and =
you could hear a definite action clatter. Then she noticed it was =
occurring when she released the key. I guess I'm revealing my age when I =
say I know the "sound of cellophane". I think the thing noticed most =
about cellophane was the rustling noise that had an unusual =
crackling/pop noise with it. Nothing quite like it. If you guys don't =
nail this one, I'll be surprised. This is probably going to take me into =
my next field of study. I have a good understanding of key dip/hammer =
blow distance/let off though I've heard talk of a safety =
factor/relationship that I would like to know more about. I've taken =
Nick Gravanite? Action geometry and Wally Brooks, effective weight =
control and couple of grand regulation classes. Now to the repetition =
lever. My guess, and it's purely a guess, the noise is the rep lever =
going through it's cycle. Guy Nichols class, Extreme measures, he said =
"pop and buff" the rep springs. What's the best way to do that and is =
that anywhere close to my problem noise?
By the way, Guy's class is a good one to take after lunch. you won't =
fall asleep.=20
