[pianotech] Ludwig Feigel Piano/Viennese Action InformationRequest

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

Hello again,  Pat.
 
 
    To address the question of why the long life on this  action.
This action is very simple.   Including the key  there is  three
(3)  moving parts. Therefore inexpensive to build,  durable, easy 
to service.

John:  Thanks for the information. The leather used in covering these 
hammers 
is  a very soft, fuzzy kind of leather, unlike any leather I have seen used 
in  pianos.The effect on the tone from this kind of leather is definitely 
not  
subtle! I will try carefully sanding them to remove the string cuts first  
before doing any hardening. I also wonder why the Austrians kept making  
these Viennese actions so long. When I first looked at the instrument I  
was 
expecting it to be a very well preserved example of a mid 1800's  pianos.
