Hi Philippe, Did the owner play violin or some other instrument that they used the piano to tune to and play with? Where I work, it is always the Bb that gets knocked out and brighter over time, as the felt packs down sooner. caused by hammering the note while tuning to it.

It's previous owner had it serviced and tuned, not long before I got it, so it could be an element of information in my question... What I observed is that A3 or A4 was brighter than the other notes, which I first suspected as an need for voicing the hammer, but then i observed that the A's above were brighter too... So, as I felt hard to believe the Idea of an illness specific to A strings, I wondered if the problem really from the hammers, or could instead come from a specific resonance of the piano itself on that frequency and the harmonics... Your opinions ? possible ? not possible ? should I suspect the previous work ? Philippe Ps : I ask the question, because currently, I'm more interested in learning the "tuning" part, and I will attach myself to learn the "voicing" part later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
