CAUT

Need some help to regulate the action of an 1877 C Bechstein that was rebuilt . rep springs need more tension but I also need to know how I adjust the hammer blow distance since there are wooden rockers on the keys with 2 screws. Damper lift from the keys is early giving a heavy touch and then jack is noisy when it returns to rest and hits a piece of bushing cloth that is in front of a felt strip. There is no round felt button or spoon so I think needling the felt will reduce the noise.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions . I used Protek CLP on the hammer flanges since most only had 1 to 1 1/4 swings using the swing rest . I have a bottle of Profelt that I will try . Not sure if Schaff sells it but I bought it from Pianotek before they closed

Instead of fussing with chemicals,  replace all felts with the correct thickness and regulate.  Charge accordingly.

Hey Jim,

Bought this bottle of VSProfelt substitute from Supply 88 at the convention.
