The problem with this Wurlitzer is that when the sustain pedal is depressed the dampers ring more than normal. When he depressed the pedal it makes a sort of how can I describe it almost a harp sound? Marshall The first sentence doesn't make sense. When the sustain pedal is down, all the notes ring on. How can they "ring more than normal?" A harp sound, to me, means soft and angelic. What is he expecting the piano to sound like with the pedal down? I tried adjusting the spoons on the notes that I heard when the sustain pedal was depressed, notes meaning the tones I recognized. I heard an f that was pronounced. You're going to have to describe this also. Before you adjust spoons, make sure all the dampers pull away from the strings at the same time when the damper rod activates them. If you don't to that first, then adjusting spoons will be a nightmare. Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician 94-505 Kealakaa Str.

The problem with this Wurlitzer is that when the sustain pedal is depressed the dampers ring more than normal. When he depressed the pedal it makes a sort of how can I describe it almost a harp sound? I tried adjusting the spoons on the notes that I heard when the sustain pedal was depressed, notes meaning the tones I recognized. I heard an f that was pronounced. Now he says that a low G has a metalic sound after I tuned the piano, not sure what that means unless a unison went out. Does anyone have any thoughts on this mess. For some reason I'm feeling really depressed about this entire situation. I had great training. What's my problem?
