Hello everyone!!! I should preface that I am not a pianist of your level; I studied keyboard for several years but have always been captivated by the piano. The fact is, after starting a family and finally buying my own house (with a thirty-year mortgage), I came across an old piano, upright with straight strings; my wife liked the furniture very much and I took the opportunity to get it for 300 euros. To my surprise, all the notes work, except that some are not very responsive, in the sense that if I play them twice consecutively and quickly, the second touch is silent... do you think the problem can be resolved? Could tuning be enough, or is it a mechanical problem? I repeat, I don't have high demands, it would be enough for me to make it functional so I can have some fun....
Forgive my devastating ignorance once again....I have read many of the various discussions...so could the problem I spoke to you about be due to incorrect string tension and could it be resolved with a tuning?
One thing is how the mechanics function and another thing is the tuning. Your piano must be mechanically checked (friction, regulation, etc.) and then it must be tuned. Naturally, since the work of restoring the mechanics is an economic burden, one must first verify if the piano has problems with tuning stability or if the A tuning fork is very far from 440 and why
