Steinway repetition problem

[David Ilvedson]

Seems to me talked about this once and someone recommended putting something on top of the capstan, like plumbers' tape just see if that was the problem.   Play a bunch of times and see if it helps?   Diagnosis...you could always replace the wippen felt on one wippen as an experiment...teflon powder should adhere well to wippen cushions...

Thanks Joe,



I have noticed, of coarse, when I keep the back of the key down, the wippen returns with a fury.   Alsow after easing and sizing the key, it too works just fine.   My problem, I think, is where the two come together.   My wonder about lubing the capstan felt is that it hangs down so powder lube does not cling to the felt very long with continue pounding of the capstan.
