RE: Problems with large 88 note rolls
By Karl Petersen
The only effective solution to this I have seen is on the Ampico B. The piano rollspool brake is a band of felt wrapped around a 80mm wheel on the end of the spool drive axle. A pneumatic pulls it tight. The tightness is regulated by a valve and control finger which continually measures the diameter of the paper on the roll!
All the other solutions seem to be going in the right direction, but have stopped short of the goal.
The Ampico B needs this because it has to play 30mm small rolls and 100mm jumbo rolls without stopping just as the final sforzando chords hit.
So, "hioslo" is your school, "hf" must be high frequency which is the rate at which we hope to hear from you on the AMML, and stud has a very impressive definition in your dictionary too.
