Good evening everyone, I realized I made a mistake ๐Ÿ™‚ I am reposting my question here: while observing the action of a Kawai grand piano, I noticed the absence of the damper "spoon"; to adjust their lift, what should be acted upon and with which tool?

thank you so much

In the coda, a small spoon is very useful for adjusting the dampers. In this case, it is necessary to unscrew screw by screw and, using a jig that marks the height (a small block placed under the bottom part of each damper's lever), the new position is determined. It is very difficult because after tightening the screws, the positions and descent directions of each piece change. One must act on the rods before finally tightening the screws. It is a job requiring patience and a "keen eye." If possible, it should be entrusted to an expert.

understood, I am following a local tuning technician as an apprentice but sometimes he leaves me a bit perplexed because he skips some explanations while working

thank you

None of us can know everything. That being said, I believe that the "jealousy" of knowledge makes no sense. We lose nothing by saying things... at least those we know. Whoever is better than us... is just better, and whoever is less skilled doesn't take anything away from us either. Communication and exchange, even when making mistakes, is wonderful and enriches us. Of course, to deepen any knowledge it takes years, patience, humility, and mental acuity. Then we might discover that one never stops learning.... even by teaching.

Compliments on your desire to learn and explore.

I quote what was said by PIANOEXPERT,

it's a pity that it is not very well received by others, in my country we say: no one is born "learned".. no one is born already "educated".. those who understand, understand...

Warmest greetings my dear friends
