[pianotech] Steinway B

[Alan Eder]

David,


SUPERB article on hammer voicing with lacquer.  Thanks so much for sharing it with the list.  When are you going to teach a class at a convention?

That's not enough nor the right way to apply it.  See attached.

Thanks Dave,
I did use hammer hardener on one hammer , two drops on both sides and strike pt.
Nor much difference so far.

Then with a Steinway hammer that usually means more lacquer or a good filing 
plus more lacquer.  You can also simply sample some other hammers up there to 
see if there is more to be delivered.  However, keep in mind that tenor and bass 
can be "awesome" on soundboards where the treble sections fails to deliver.  If 
the changes made to hammers don't get you what you want, then the problem may be 
there--and it isn't the strike point.

Hammer, the tenor and bass are awesome.

Is it hammer dull or soundboard dull?

List,
I have a client with a 1890's B which was rebuilt last year. It's one  
of those with the round red understring felts in the treble, with new  
Steinway hammers. Serial #63710.
The treble section all the way to the top is DULL CITY. The rebuilder  
said it  was the it was made. This piano has only 85 keys.
What would be the best way to bring it up?
