Good morning everyone,
first of all, I would like to compliment you on your tutorials, which are so effective in explaining the piano mechanism.
My name is Lorenzo, and I am a beginner. Unfortunately, I have a problem with my piano.
I have a W. Krauser upright piano (about 15 years old) whose keys tend to stay depressed after being pressed, especially during repetition.
A short while ago, I had a tuner come over who, in addition to regulating the action (indeed, the keys had a bit of play), tried to do everything possible to avoid this phenomenon, which however reappeared after a few days of playing for a few hours.
Opening the piano, I noticed that the escapement lever struggles to return to its initial position; it is as if it gets stuck halfway through its stroke.
After "escaping" from the hammer, at the moment the finger releases the key, the escapement lever tends to return under the hammer, but at a certain point it gets stuck and the hammer does not return to its initial position. Consequently, the key remains "pressed".
What can be done? Is it a "congenital" defect of the piano or can something be done? 😟
Thank you all for the answers!
