Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a beautiful Yamaha C5 piano, used for concerts for only a short time, with a very high serial number.... practically new.
After about a month I had it tuned, but I notice some defects (or at least things that make me wrinkle my nose!!!) that I am intending to resolve.
In the second octave to the left of middle C (the first copper strings!!!!), there are some notes (Bb, A, Ab, G, and E) with a sound that I personally define as "not clear" compared to the others in the rest of the keyboard; they seem to sing less, and they have the characteristic of making a sort of clearly perceptible metallic vibration felt. From the technician who tuned it for me, I heard that it could be a defect in the copper winding of the strings; the same technician tuned the piano and spent a lot of time on this octave, which seemed to be more out of tune compared to the rest of the keyboard. What could I do to obtain an octave with a "singing" quality adequate to the rest of the keyboard?.
Another point: it happens that when using the "sustain" pedal, I hear the "noise" of the felts rubbing against some strings on certain notes, so much so as to produce a minimal excitation with the consequent, barely perceptible (I am a maniac about this!!!!!) production of sound. Is it normal for it to be like this?
Thank you for your attention and for your patience in reading this long message.
(p.s. since this is my first "REAL" piano, I can't quite understand to what extent I should worry......)
Regards.
Luciano.
