Hello All: I have taken on the project of bringing a 1910 Ludwig Feigel 6' grand back to playing condition. It is actually in very good condition considering it's age, tuneable with a good soundboard and pinblock. However, as you can see from the pictures, it has what I believe is a Viennese action, with leather covered hammers. I have no idea as to how this would be regulated, or how to voice the hammers. The soft leather gives the piano a very dull tone, so I hope to be able to brighten them up. I don't know if the leather covering is original or not. I will start by easing the keys, which are all tight on their balance pins. Where to go from there? Thanks for your help. Patrick C.
