Loud Playing Duo-Arts
By Craig Brougher
Interestingly, I received another complaint from a rebuilder who has had a Duo-Art Restored for him by another rebuilder, and cannot approach the rebuilder about the problem, so he faxed me about what to do. Pete Knobloch is having the same problem, and has been off-line presently, but to my knowledge has not yet solved the problem, either. Both are questioning the springs, but unless they are using either two solo springs in place of a theme spring, or unless their old springs are so stretched out they have to tighten them up to the point that there is over 1-1/4" sticking out the bottoms of each adjuster (or so) then I doubt that this is the problem, either.
When charting Pete Knoblock's intensities, they go wild. The theme slope is far too great, with a huge jump from #13 step up. The solo slope is even worse and starts to go nuts about #9 or so. That piano would blow you out of the room!
I have restored hundreds of Duo-Arts and have never seen this problem, personally. So I wonder if others have the same complaint? Maybe we could get a thread going here that would be helpful to everybody.
