David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, California Original message From: "Barbara Richmond" To: Pianotech Received: 3/2/2006 10:01:37 AM Subject: v-bar/capo repair: Seiler pictures 1 Hi All, Well, I sent four pictures yesterday afternoon to "files", but it still= hasn't shown up on the list. Guess the person in charge is busy. Any= way, I wanted to get moving on it. Yesterday I was going to be very near this customers home, so I swung b= y and got some pictures. I should have mentioned earlier that though m= uting the duplex helps, I also have to keep on top of the voicing. I d= idn't think much about the voicing since I have frequently found that p= ianos that are approaching extremely bright sound will have the sizzle = and after voicing the sizzle isn't a problem. The other reason I stay = on top of the hammer shape especially, is in the past this piano has ha= d a problem with breaking strings. I have tried pressing on the bridge pins, but it didn't seem to make an= y difference--well, anyway it didn't help. I haven't tried my vice-gri= ps on them though. I had a bad CA glue day and used CA on the bridge p= ins. I'm really embarrassed about that picture--I'm usually more succe= ssful at keeping it under control. I would have checked the down bear= ing, but was running errands and forgot to bring the tool case with tha= t gauge. Duh. So, here are the first two pictures, the front duplex angle and a bad p= icture of the length. I was going to write down the lengths, but got d= istracted by some painters that were working at the house. For some re= ason they thought I was there to chat. I should have asked them to be = quiet. Next time... All suggestions and ideas are welcome. Next, I'll send the other two p= ictures--under the capo/v-bar view and the bridge.
