Hello, Im new in this world and Im wondering why is there just one string alone in the midle of the U turns strings. Thanks
Your videos are so helpful! I wish I could have made it to Reno this and met you. Thanks for all the help!
Glad the videos are helpful! Reno was great.
Hi Lucy. I’m your biggest fan. However I feel sorry about not being able to react to most of your video’s. Also it’s not possible to save them because you set them as “for children”.
Thanks for being a fan!
There's nobody around so take that silly mask off.
che brava...ammirevole come lavora con attenzione, metodo e delicatezza. With my compliments
Thank you!
How much space in between those 3 lines drawn on the chart? 1/8 inch?
No aplica para afinaciones Aurales
Is there a reason why you didn’t use the felt material for the upper strings ?
Great question. I should redo this video, because at this time I do use felt for the upper strings that do not have dampers. The felt I use is not the typical muting felt because I find it too thick. Instead, I use medium thickness action felt. It comes one inch wide and I cut it in half with a rotary cutter. For most pianos that I tune, I use the papp mute where there are dampers because there is no way to injure the damper felt with the papp mute. If the papp mute doesn't fit between the hammers and the dampers, I make very tidy and small loops with the action cloth strip mute and without touching the damper felt (pull damper as far from the strings as possible) I push the felt down to be even with the top of the damper. When pulling the mute out, I hold down the 2 keys to raise the dampers from the strings and very carefully pull the mute out.
@@lucyurlacher9794 thank you for your timely and knowledgeable response! Take care from South Carolina!
Excellent
Lucy, thanks for your videos, it’s very helpful and with love to musical instruments and music in general
What ETD do you use again?
I use the Reyburn CyberTuner.
Thank you for lending your expertise! I was scratching my head
Again very good video. Thanx... But please use a cloth under your tools so you can lay your tools on it.
You are right!
Great Video. What is the App you are using?
That is Reyburn CyberTuner. I’d give it 5 stars.
Where do you buy your wire?
Cool😅
Nice video, but please use a cloth to lay your tool on,,, Not on the iron frame.
Good point!
Thanks for this really helpful video Lucy. It helped me diagnose a loose hammer on my century old upright. After watching the video I ordered the two tools and was able to remove and reglue the affected hammer 😊
Wonderful!
awesome!!
Bravooooo vivaaaaa Brasil agradece
You are a treasure!! This helped soooo much! You have a new Subscriber. Thankyou so much. 🎶 I do hope there will be more!
Does this gauge also can be used in grand piano action? Also where can I get it?
nice, can you use compressed air? to blast the dust from the soundboard and collect with hoover?
Lucy- How much do you want to back the old tuning out before you tighten the new coil onto it? I learned to do this "the old fashioned way", without a dummy pin, where we back the old pin out 7 half turns (3&1/2 full turns). I want to learn how to do this the way you're doing also.
I back the pin out 1/2 to 1 turn. I always have the hole in the pin oriented front to back.
Hi Lucy! Greetings, you use other wooden measurements when you regulate the letoff. What would those measures be? Thank you very much!
I found that if you are dumping an old fridge, take the rubber seals off and you should be able to extract the door magnet which is approximately 1/8” and it will hold on to the strings to let you set the let-offs!
It was very helpful seeing the demo with the large wire first. Great video, thank you!
This video is the best one for bass string replacement
Thank you for sharing your process, when I use a strip mute I find using tweezers speeds up installing the mute for me. The papp’s mute is the second thing I get out of my case, but I dislike it being my primary mute when tuning the treble because I always get crossed up when I have to move the mute. I imagine for you that you need to move through each instrument as efficiently as possible so speed is the thing. I don’t think I would enjoy that as much, I love sitting down with a new (to me) instrument and taking a few hours, cleaning the interior, fixing squeaks and sticking parts, correcting the pitch (I do it so much 😂) But thank you and a shout out to Woody from EKU who first introduced me to piano technology and service.
Why are you wearing a mask?!!! 😔
Parabéns deus abençoe
Que alegria 😂😊
Thanks a lot, Lucy! Very good explanation. Hello from Spain.
Glad you liked it!
That mask doesn't help anything.
What's that tuning hammer?
It’s from Reyburn Tools. I love it. It is both extremely functional and extremely beautiful.
Very fine work! Grand dampers are a nightmare for many technicians, but you make it look less mysterious.
Hello from Greenland, For the notes in the middle with three strings and only mute with the long stripe, if i understand correctely, the unisson is tuned with three strings for the right string correct, as you don’t use extra mute to mute again the left string? After all this process do you do another fin tuning, checking separately the unissons. It will take one week with helicopter anf flights to make a prof. Tuner to come here in our village 😢, so i try to understand how to make my first piano tuning. This video helps a lot as it is very clear, step by step. Is it possible to ask you some online guiding through skype?
I will make another video very soon and explain things in greater detail.
We could do something on Skype , but not in October!
Each notes are played so clearly! Beautuful!
Thank you!

What are the dimensions of the gauge you have to check the bend in the damper wires?
Figure 8 knot basically
Yes, but the stiffness of piano wire means we need to make the loops. No right over left and left over right with piano wire.
Ah, this is a timesaver. Thanks!
It’s also so much better on our backs when we use this let off method. Glad you liked it.
Why wear the mask !!? You're hard to understand and it fogs your spectacles. Have some courage and ditch the mask.
Well done.
As a jazz composer, I stay up late in the night writing on my old 1948 Baldwin spinet. The piece I’m working on is probably the most “gorgeous “ in terms of sonic personality! It totally embodies what I was after in both Lyrics and melody!! But, it took over a year to hone it !!! A tender sonnet… or even a lullaby- ish motif made famous by Roger’s and Hart back in the day. Like you sir, you labor and toil over any and every idiosyncrasy to achieve the closest to perfection the moment will allow. Bless you for your secret dedication to this essential craftsmanship!!! Doing so with a mask no less!!! Your utter love for people and your art ( enforcing this medium)shine completely through!!! Yes, I’m a year late with this comment, but ….. I think I speak for our musical forefathers; Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Sondheim, Metheny, Bernstein, Gershwin ect…..who all depended on the( Joseph “ )of their time ) to assist with the phenomenal body of work they gifted to this planet!!!!! As sure as heaven exist…. they all bow to you sir…… ( minus Pat Metheny who is still very much alive !!!!!….. lol …..and … they would all… like me….. subscribe to your wonderful channel!!!!!! Composing these ballads brings me to tears often……and….. even though I’m in good health; turning 67 next month,… it would be an honor to know this current ballad: ” LAILA “ written for my 14 year old grandniece may survive for centuries to bring untold joy to others!!! This will be my debut album coming around Christmas… if I’m stay on course… lol ….. ( stage fright detained me for decades)! However, …. It’s becoming…. manageable. Like you….. it’s not about the sales… it’s about THE SERVICE!!! TO HUMANITY! Thanks again for you and Ms. Urlacher excepting your “ calling “ to this world of sheer wonder!!! Again I say…. We ALL call on you, ……….. to take….. your needed, necessary, well earned, …… and quite OVERDUE……. BOW!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO……. Your life…. Like a classic tune……… is WELL PLAYED… WELL PLAYED INDEED !!! God Bless,🕯 🎼RAIN RAIN 🎼
Youare crazy with that mask, why, no one there.....
Thats very clever
It works well! Watch another one of my videos that shows how I continue and adjust bridal wires.
@@lucyurlacher9794 will do
The best😂
Great video. I have to replace an agraffe on the 4th A. These wires cross under the bass strings and I assume I have to replace them along with the agraffe. Can I do this without removing some of the base strings? Looks to be extremely difficult otherwise. Thanks!
