Middle Pedal on 1899 George Steck Grand Piano
มุมมอง 342 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have not seen this type of function on a grand piano before. It seems to be moving the damper upstop rail. I don't understand what the advantage of pivoting the upstop rail forward would be. I'm looking for answers!
Piano Tuning Windows of Tolerance and Floating Pitch
มุมมอง 513 หลายเดือนก่อน
There is no "one perfect tuning' for pianos! This short video shows the tolerances for the Piano Technicians Guild tuning exam. It demonstrates that a little flexibility in the tuning can capture time that can be utilized for touch and tone issues, especially voicing.
Floating the Pitch of a Piano
มุมมอง 746 หลายเดือนก่อน
This describes the advantage of "floating the pitch" when tuning pianos. Pianos naturally go sharp in the more humid months of summer and early fall, and typically drop flatter during the colder months when the cold outdoor air is heated to room temperature and becomes much dryer.

Adjusting simultaneous escapement with jack position
มุมมอง 602 ปีที่แล้ว
Once your let-off and drop are set to specifications (approx. 1.5 - 2.5mm for both let-off and drop) you can set simultaneous escapement with the jack position screw. This short video shows how adjusting the position of the jack will change how the jack moves in the repetition lever window. For simultaneous escapement, you want to see a continuous movement of the jack towards the centerpin of t...
Jack Spring and upright touch

It can be difficult to visualize how the strength of the jack spring can affect the downweight of an upright piano. Hopefully this makes it a little more clear.

For about a year I've been starting most mornings with a cold dunk to awaken my senses and clear my mind. The temperature of my outdoor tub (110 gallon rubber feed trough from Tractor Supply) has slowly declined over the fall and now with the cold snap it is ice cold! For me that is the best! At this point, it really is not hard to do, in fact, most mornings I crave it, and the occasional time ...

For about a year I've been starting out most mornings with a cold dunk in my 110 gallon feed trough/tub! It really is a fantastic way to start the day off. In the summer the tub got up to around 60 degrees or so, but as we moved into fall I watched the temperature slowly drop, and now with the cold snap this week it is at freezing temperature! I love it!

Hi Ryan! This was cool!
… or it could be serving both purposes.
I think that’s not the upstop rail, it’s a sostenuto mechanism.
left string should be closer to the edge of felt.
Is this an attempt to emulate Bernhard Stopper’s “OnlyPure” tuning methodology?
More or less. There really isn't anything that special about the concept. Stopper is based on a pure 12th equal temperament, whereas I find that a 12th is sometimes too wide in the midrange. I shoot for pure or barely wide 4:2 octaves in the midrange and transition to 3:1 12ths as I move into the treble and then feather back to 2:1 octaves in the very top octave.
🤣
An electric leaf blower is a great tool for keeping a piano clean. I have a concert grand in my studio, and I blow any dust out of it a couple of times a year. If you do it regularly, there's never that much dust, and you can do it inside. It's when pianos collect dust for years and years that you're going to make a mess blowing the dust out.
Poor baby, look at all that dust. Take care of your pianos, people! (:
Maybe a good discussion for a monthly meeting. I am guessing you can do the same with other tuning apps.
ThAnks man this rlly helped me :)))
Verry verry easy , glue sandpaper on a piece of wood , which you use to stear paint in a can with paint and sand the front of the hammer softly till its flat , 1mm deep , and touches all the strings , nice job ! Greetings George from Holland
VIDEO VERY GOOD!!
Why does your Tunelab look different than mine? For instance your tuning files folder is on the right as mine is on the left. And other things like thicker blue dashes on yours. Is this a new update ?
You crack me up!!!
VERY GOOD!!
Hello, do you have tutorial for a complete beginner?
0:57 sounds like my neighbours 24/7 with their hammer
Great sharing !
Piano seems in good condition...How old was this spinet? Were the hammers still factory originals? Were they filed before the needling?
I believe this was a mid-century piano. The hammers had been reshaped. It looks like there's a string grooves but it's really graphite marks.
For me, it's a dream of expenditure. Just a dream...
These are excellent tips. Thanks for sharing.
This is good to know. If most of them are ringing on one side, what is the best remedy, or does one have to shape each hammer?
Do you still have it? If so, are you interested in selling?
I had the same buzz on the same notes! The culprit was the lowest A also. Wish I would have found your video first. Drove me nuts for several hours until I decided to dampen strings as I tested to figure it out.
Where to obtain?)
Is this piano still available?
That's so cool! I heard Rachmaninoff use to practise on one of those when he was traveling.
where'd u get that?
Awesome! :D
It's totally amazing. The one that i've been waiting for ages!
