ACTION REPAIR AND REGULATION
part 1  part 2

    f o t o  28
Converting sticker actions to capstans
The conversion to a modern capstan system has the goal of achieving the correct regulation parameters, and the correct down and up-weight. The main tasks are: adjustment calculation, installing new lever heels in place of the removed stickers, and fitting capstans in a pre-set line.

Constructing new dampers
The best damping results are achieved by installing our individually selected new dampers. The type and the form of the felt and the dimensions of the damper heads are specially selected for each instrument.
    f o t o  30
Inserting metal bushings into the damper levers
When worn wooden threads prevent a tight-fitting damper wire, the usual practice is to replace the lever-wire-flange, which does not always match the old damper levers. Thus we recommend new metal bushings for old damper-lever-wire-flanges to save the cost of new damper-levers.

Constructing and installing new action rails
In the case of damaged action rails we can make new wooden or rolled sheet brass rails, drill them accordingly and install.

Installing a sostenuto system
Includes: installing the sostenuto rod and fittings; constructing a 3-pedal lyre case, lyre connections, pedal rods and sostenuto pedal lever; regulating dampers and sostenuto. An additional charge will be made for new damper levers, if the old ones are not fitted with sostenuto tabs.
