Everett: A puzzler Piano: 70's Everett console in nice overall condition. One owner. Tuned, over the years, but never any other work done or recommended by the tuners Problem: Everything wacky. Feels, overall, just lousy when you play. Can't play softly without having notes drop out (not sound), keys feel like they are bottoming out early, many keys bobble, no power. Well, no wonder, notes aren't even letting off, jacks push the hammers to about 1/4" from strings then the key bottoms. Dip, 3/8" or a sixteenth less, very uneven. There were several "sticking" and slow keys that easing at the front rail fixed, but this wasn't the real issue at hand. Puzzler: This is a great thinking exercise for anyone interested in upright regulation. What would you look for? What problem(s) do you suspect?
