[pianotech] Actions By Design

[Alan Eder]

Hi Joe,


And for those unfortunates amongst us who DID miss the seminar, please do give us a hint at what it is we missed ('cause it sounds really worthwhile).


Thanks,


Alan Eder

Hi folks you missed a good one if you were not able to be at Reno this weekend.
 
 
Hi Wade,
Thanks so much for hosting the one day seminar featuring Dale Erwin and
Ray Negron. Got way more info to use than I ever expected.
Also kodos to your talented lovely artist wife for the feast at lunch.

 Hi Dale
 

        
On another subject, I hung the Ronsen Weickert hammers in my Yamaha         C-5 yesterday afternoon.  The boring is the best I've ever         had.   The size of the bore was         absolutely perfect for my style of hanging, 
   I could slap about a         dozen hammers at a time onto the shanks and line em up before the         glue grabbed.  All the angles and bore lengths were also         perfect.  My only (very minor) complaint is no extras, I always         like a few just in case.
   Sometimes I         don't have any or I screw up a few. 
 Anyway, they went         on fast and looked great.  Then I put the action back in my         piano to do final alignment, string leveling, and to check out if I         wanted to skin or lacquer or anything like that.  Well, obviously,         the first thing was just to play and listen...after that I never got to         second base for any other work.

  They are unbelievably         great.  I played for hours, didn't stop until past 9.  The         pianissimo is truly incredible.  If it were on a stage, I would         probably like a little more balls at fortissimo,

 but in my         home, I don't think I need that.  I might dope or skin the last         (highest) half octave, but I think I'll just let them break in         naturally.
