? Fenton,Rook ? Plays like a truck, drives like a truck, looks like a truck? must be a KImall.? Nahhhh just an un serviced piano.....I thought I'd take a moment to express one of my rants ? ?Some one wrote ?the kimball had: ? Shallow dip? no let-off? plays like a Mack Truck because of it.? ???? This is the most common condition I find pianos in.? Either every other tuner before me has continued to allow there shiny new capstan wrench lay unused in the tool case or it's been a REALLY long time since it was serviced. Usually it's the former. ?This is the detriment of hit & run tuning. Eventually the piano has no after touch >>? >> There's room to raise the key height..yes I checked the sharps..and >> possibly make this a more enjoyable instrument.? ?all Kimballs need this. >>? >> It's in a church that 'supposedly' doesn't have a budget to do it right. >> I use the word 'supposedly' because it seems most, if not all of the >> churches I run into down here all claim poverty..I just don't see it >> myself.? ? ?Rook, ?you Made the sales pitch, & If its' a piano driven service then they need the piano to function at minimum levels & that includes proper blow, let-off & dip...the big 3.??? aaannnd the??tuner/tech/you/me ?needs to sell these basics or risk having the unhappiness from the non serviced piano to come back at him.? For me a no answer is a deal breaker.?After appropriate education it's either do it or I'm out of here time.? ?? This is the real world.??It's up to us to take our clients to it. ? end -O - rant >>? My estimate for the job is to 'do it right' - full reg. with hammer >> re-shaping.? >>? >> I thought I'd ask anyway,? >>? >> -Curious Rook? ? Right on rook ? Dale >>? >? >? > ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/attachments/20080513/3f17e0aa/attachment.html
