This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I'm stuck. The piano is a Starr Console piano. The C1 note plays, but = only softly. If you play it and the surrounding notes quietly, it is = just fine. Play with more force and the other notes get louder, the C1 = does not. It feels as if the key is bottoming out before the hammer can = reach the string. The let off is correct. I have removed the front = rail felt and tried it that way, but still feels as if something is = impeding the hammer in its motion. The damper mechanism seems to be = fine, the spoon is adjusted correctly. I removed and replaced the = whippen, and hammer, and all seems to be A-OK. Nothing is broken and = the flanges all are working easily. The backcheck is adjusted all = right. It has been adjusted for lost motion. I don't know what to = check next. Everything seems to working properly and adjusted = correctly, yet something is keeping the hammer from contacting the = string with the proper force. Any ideas????
