Rebuilt Player Piano Plays Weakly
By Gary Heckman
I have completely rebuilt a Starr player piano. The bottom bellows are
tight and pump up to 14". The valves and pouches have all been rebuilt,
along with the pneumatics.
When playing a music roll, the sound is always very soft no matter how
hard you pump the bellows. All 88 note-striking pneumatics play and
the leakage is minimal. I have adjusted the lost motion and nothing
seems to help the sound -- it plays as if the soft pedal is always on.
Has anyone had the same problem? Would like information as to my
problem.
