My experience is leveling keys can be quite challenging so glad you gave some good tips!
@thomastereszkiewicz22413 ай бұрын
interesting the way you put balance rail punching on and off, I take off the whippen for the key I need to raise or lower and then raise the key to get to the punchings. Once the punching has been added or removed, I put the whippen back and check it out.

I'm loving all of your videos Jim, thanks for sharing so many great tips. Quick question here: How exactly do you use the tray for holding damper underlevers up instead of the long jig shown here?
Thanks for these vids! My technician and good friend passed away a while back and although he taught me a lot I sure didn't learn all the tricks. Your vids are filling in the blanks and I've been able to take care of some nagging issues in my piano that previously had been a mystery to me.

For an upright, do you remove the hammer rail and lay the shafts horizonal?

I never gang file hammers. I pay attention to what I'm doing and to what I have done, and my hamers look like new factory installed hammers. Frank Hanson from the NEC taught me this. Especially in very worn hammers, you need to treat each hammer individually because they have not worn equally

the main advantage of Jim's method of shimming is the use of a thin sheet of veneer, which allows for minimal material removal from the pinblock hole. This can be especially useful when the hole is already worn or enlarged. The veneer can be precisely cut to fit the exact size of the hole, allowing for a more accurate repair there. On the other hand, Max's method of shimming kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCmhmVnhLt1psksi=VjSKslvB7B6441ah using corrugated cardboard or paper offers a cost-effective solution that is easy to obtain. It can work well for many pinblock holes, and the material can be built up in layers to achieve the desired thickness. Additionally, the use of the cardboard or the paper can minimize damage to the surface of the pinblock hole. Overall, both methods have their advantages and can work well in different situations. The use of cardboard or paper may be more versatile and cost-effective, but the use of veneer may be preferable when a high level of precision is required. It is important to choose the method and materials that are appropriate for the specific piano's repair needed.

Hi Jim, I made one also, but made it for key height also. Thanks

This is a great idea! I literally replaced all of mine with the cork style 3 days ago. LOL. All of my hammers were out of the piano though which makes it much easier to clean out any debris.

Alternatively, you can use a thin, curved riffle file that fits between the strings to file the hammer down where it is hitting the string(s) first. Of course, after leveling the strings.

It should be fairly easy to make this tool out of brass rod stock with a couple a fine files.

Don Manino made a similar tool. It has the same end as Davenport’s for pulling and pushing, but it is shorter and has a T-handle. Don retired from Kawai this year (last year?) so I’m unsure if anyone still makes it. I got one in Seattle in 2012.
