I have a question about setting back check please. When checking/ setting back check will the measurement change according to how hard I strike the key? It seemed like it was but I wasn't sure. I did see I have to watch not to introduce after touch cuz it will move closer if I push it down too hard after the strings are already struck. Thank you.

Thanks for this video, Lucy! Do you remember where you purchased that crank? All the ones I can find have too large of a sweep which makes it difficult for me to keep even pressure on the becket when making the coil on the dummy pin. That one looks like it is the perfect size. I suppose I really just need more practice, rather than more tools!

@lucyurlacher9794 2 ай бұрын

I do like the size of my tool, but sadly, I don’t think it is still made. I can make coils equally well with a larger crank, but not with a smaller one. It does take practice. If the pressure on the thumb seems intense, wrap the thumb pad with blue masking tape. Make 5 coils a day until it becomes second nature. Good luck!

Madame, which should be done first, the jack release adjustment or back check?

@lucyurlacher9794 3 ай бұрын

Do jack release, let-off, first. Regulation is balancing hammer travel with key travel. I start with a standard blow distance, 45mm. Any time blow changes, capstans must be adjusted. Next I set the key height. 3rd is let-off. Last is key dip and checking. The proof that hammer travel balances key travel is aftertouch, key travel after let-off, seen in a slight gap between the jack and the butt when the hammer is in check.

Is there a reason why you didn’t use the felt material for the upper strings ?

@lucyurlacher9794 6 ай бұрын

Great question. I should redo this video, because at this time I do use felt for the upper strings that do not have dampers. The felt I use is not the typical muting felt because I find it too thick. Instead, I use medium thickness action felt. It comes one inch wide and I cut it in half with a rotary cutter. For most pianos that I tune, I use the papp mute where there are dampers because there is no way to injure the damper felt with the papp mute. If the papp mute doesn't fit between the hammers and the dampers, I make very tidy and small loops with the action cloth strip mute and without touching the damper felt (pull damper as far from the strings as possible) I push the felt down to be even with the top of the damper. When pulling the mute out, I hold down the 2 keys to raise the dampers from the strings and very carefully pull the mute out.

nice, can you use compressed air? to blast the dust from the soundboard and collect with hoover?

I’ve never tried that, so I don’t know. I got several new tuning customers because they were so upset about the dust their previous technician got all over their house. As a group they were so upset that I said I would never use air to blow dust.

@altodomino7859 Жыл бұрын

Lucy- How much do you want to back the old tuning out before you tighten the new coil onto it? I learned to do this "the old fashioned way", without a dummy pin, where we back the old pin out 7 half turns (3&1/2 full turns). I want to learn how to do this the way you're doing also.

@lucyurlacher9794 Жыл бұрын

I back the pin out 1/2 to 1 turn. I always have the hole in the pin oriented front to back.

Hi Lucy! Greetings, you use other wooden measurements when you regulate the letoff. What would those measures be? Thank you very much!

@rossmorrow3013 Жыл бұрын

I found that if you are dumping an old fridge, take the rubber seals off and you should be able to extract the door magnet which is approximately 1/8” and it will hold on to the strings to let you set the let-offs!

@lucyurlacher9794 Жыл бұрын

That is a good idea. The more ideas the better. One thing nice about this technique is being able to vary the letoff distance. If a mute strip is used, the letoff needs to be more than 1/8. In pianos that have a tendency to hammer “bobble” I have hammers letoff slightly farther from the strings in order to have that slight bit more aftertouch. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for sharing your process, when I use a strip mute I find using tweezers speeds up installing the mute for me. The papp’s mute is the second thing I get out of my case, but I dislike it being my primary mute when tuning the treble because I always get crossed up when I have to move the mute. I imagine for you that you need to move through each instrument as efficiently as possible so speed is the thing. I don’t think I would enjoy that as much, I love sitting down with a new (to me) instrument and taking a few hours, cleaning the interior, fixing squeaks and sticking parts, correcting the pitch (I do it so much 😂) But thank you and a shout out to Woody from EKU who first introduced me to piano technology and service.
