Good morning everyone, I like to have your opinion on an old bluthner 1913 action.
It is 7' jubilee concert model, pretty rare.
It has a particular "roller", not so roller, action, it may be first modern action by bluthner.
Can you please tell me if it is entirely original? I think it is.
The piano has excessive blow distance, there is excessive distance between hammers and pinblock (original), and strings. It may be 8/10 mm far away from perpendicular hammer position. The action had a bow (up) in the middle of keyboard, I shimmed height of hammer rail flat, the keybed is perfectly flat.
I cannot think bluthner was designed in this manner, it may be hammers was bored or replaced too "low" ?
Thank you all for contributions
David
