Page 7: Piano Ac On Regula On
July 2013 Introduc on Piano Ac on Regula on This discussion is not intended to be a complete course on grand ac on regula on, but rather may prove helpful in restoring the ac on to proper performance. Proper alignment of ac on parts, and key easing are all very important steps in the regula on procedure. The following procedure assumes that this preliminary work has been checked and performed as necessary. Before removing the ac on from the ac on cavity, evaluate ac on regula on. If the ac on is not well regulated, proper perfor‐ mance of the system cannot be expected. During the installa on process of the PNOma on II Player System, it is quite possible that ac on regula on will be directly affected. A por on of the keyframe and back rail cloth will be removed so that the note solenoid plungers can contact the keytails. This opera on may cause the keytails to be lower than their original posi on. The result of lower key tails is an increase in both key height, and hammer strike distance. Restoring the strike distance to specifica ons by turning out the capstan screws is not the proper remedy. Always re‐work the back rail height so that the key height is at its original posi on. ‐ Are the keys level? ‐ Do the hammers let off 1/8 in the bass, tapering to 1/16 in the high treble? ‐ Is the drop 1/16 below the point of let‐off? ... -

5. Special upright driver board moun ng brackets are required for moun ng the driver boards to the solenoid rail. These brackets are 3” long and will allow the driver board and chassis to hang below the solenoid rail when completed. 6. SPECIAL NOTE**** If the driver boards are mounted upside down, you can reverse the playing order of the notes by selec ng “Invert Keybed” in the “Playback Parameters” sec on of PMII. 7. The power supply and the processor board are mounted inside the cabinet of the piano in any place convenient to the installer. Make sure the electrical cables do not interfere with any of the mechanical levers within the piano. 8. It is necessary to cut a 1” hole directly through the soundboard of the piano towards the bo om of the piano at the end where the power supply is mounted. This will allow the main power plug to easily be plugged into a wall outlet. This hole will not affect the sound of the piano in any way. ... - Page 9 July 2013 Installa on Procedure ...Upright Piano Installa on ‐ Recommenda ons Twin Speakers for Upright Installa on # 76047 Mount two brackets.

Page 12: Key Solenoid Rail Assembly - Solenoid To Key Alignment
July 2013 Installa on Procedure Key Solenoid Rail Assembly ‐ Solenoid to Key Alignment With the piano ac on on your workbench and the fronts of the keys facing away from you. Place the solenoid rail on the workbench in front of the keytails and put the plungers inside the solenoids. Turn the solenoid rail assembly on its side, so that the plungers are now parallel to the workbench surface and the felt plunger ps are touching the back ends of the piano keys. The first plunger should start all the way to the le side of the rail. Secure the rail and ac on with the two clamps so they will not move during the alignment process. Mark which side is bass and treble. Make sure all the solenoid plates are free moving. If they are not, use an 11/32” nut driver to loosen them. The spacing between sec ons has been held in check by the introduc on of solenoid assembly pairs adjacent to the breaks. Because not all sec ons on a piano will have an even number of notes played in them, those which have an odd number will require a modified solenoid assembly to provide the addi onal note required, and this modified note will be placed adjacent to a sec on break or at either end. Count the number of keys to be played in each sec on. If there is an even number, align the solenoids with plungers already on the rail with the centers of their respec ve key tails. If the number of keys to be played is odd, simply re‐ move one of the solenoids from the double moun ng bracket and con nue to the alignment of the next sec on. If necessary, cut away the unused por on of the rail ends with a hack saw and file off all burrs with a metal file. Be ... -

Page 18: Installing The So -Shi Lever
July 2013 Installa on Procedure Installing the So ‐Shi Lever The So Shi (una corda) pedal mechanism usually includes a long, cast‐iron bell crank lever whose short arm pro‐ trudes though the keybed to engage a groove cut in the bo om of the keyframe somewhere beneath the treble sec‐ on. The shi pedal in this configura on does not have to pass through the solenoid rail and, therefore, may o en be le untouched. However, on some pianos you may have to move the so shi toward the front of the piano to accom‐ modate for the width of the rail. For the pianos that need modifica on, brackets have been included in the kit for easy readjustment. It is a good idea to leave one of the original wooden blocks a aching the so shi lever to the key bed, and only use one of the brackets supplied. -
Page 19: Installing The Sustain Pedal Trapwork
July 2013 Installa on Procedure Installing the Sustain Pedal Trapwork... General Recommenda ons When you are at the point where you are ready to start removing the original trapwork system from the piano we rec‐ ommend that you trace around the trap components before you actually remove them. This is just a good reference should you have ques ons about leverage, stroke or placement a er you have removed everything. You should also trace around anything else you will be removing such as the piano legs. It is normally a good idea to install the new trap components (except for the Sostenuto) a er you install the solenoid rail because there is only one correct place the rail can be installed, where as the trap components are somewhat flexi‐ ble in their placement. The first is deciding if you need to mill any areas of the keybed besides the rail slot itself. The most likely places that would require special milling would be to mill a recess for the Sostenuto actuator assembly so it can be mounted above the solenoid rail. Another case would be to mill a pocket in the keybed to accommodate the up most posi on of the so shi lever such as on a Steinway. You might be milling a slot perpendicular to the solenoid slot to fit a bridge support if you can’t leave one when you cut the main slot. Depending on the situa on you may need to drill a new hole for the sustain dowel. It is important to realize these possibili es before you cut the slot. You don’t want to cut the slot, clean up the mess and install the solenoid rail just to find out you need to cut more material to accommodate a piece of the trap hardware! Once you have the slot laid out on the bo om of the keybed (we recommend using a soap stone or med p grease pencil), it will be much easier to conceptualize how you will configure the trap system. With the lines drawn exactly where the slot will be cut, you will be able to tell what obstacles will need to be moves, modified or worked around. ... - Page 20 July 2013 Installa on Procedure ...Installing the Sustain Pedal Trapwork 1 Draw a Straight line between the sustain hole in the keybed, lyre sustain push rod and the Pedal Solenoid. 2 Place the trapwork on the keybed so that it follows that line 3 Fasten the trapwork to the keybed with the 4, 3 1/2” screws provided. 4 Screw the locking nylon nuts onto the #8 Damper Tray Push Rod so that it supports the damper tray.

Page 21: Installing The Sustain Pedal Solenoid - Grand
July 2013 Installa on Procedure Installing the Sustain Pedal Solenoid ‐ Grand... You can now turn your a en on to the installa on of the sustain pedal solenoid assembly. This procedure is not required when sustain pedal is not installed. Because there is a certain amount of varia on in the architecture of grand pianos, you will probably have to custom‐tailor the following direc ons to suit the mechanical dimensions of the par cular instrument you are working on. The key elements to focus on here include the sustain pedal lyre rod's upward projec on onto the keybed immediately above it, the loca on of the large hole through which the original sustain pedal pitman dowel projected to reach its corresponding hole in the wooden or aluminum damper tray (which li s all of the piano's dampers simultaneously), and the rearmost OUTSIDE ver cal wall of the keyboard compartment, called "the belly rail." The proper installa on of the sustain pedal solenoid assembly takes into account the dimensional rela onships of these three elements. In addi on to providing for both the manual and automa c opera on of the piano's dampers, you want to give the sustain pedal solenoid as much mechanical advantage as possible in order to minimize the power required to ac vate it. Despite the excellent design of the sustain pedal solenoid assembly, its long term opera on depends upon your skill in loca ng the various leverage‐points which enable it to func on both manually and auto‐... -

Determine placement of the push lever by first installing the pedal lyre on the piano. Place the push lever so that the end of the lyre’s Sostenuto rod is on the outer edge of the push block when the pedal is not depressed. Make sure that there is clearance as the push block travels through its arc as the pedal is depressed. The push block posi‐ on is adjustable by loosening the set‐screw. There are several indents in the sha for posi oning. Also note the posi on of the sha bearing and bushing has been placed as close to the bend in the sha as possible to prevent the bushing from working its way out during opera on. Only this sha bearing should be fastened in place at this me. It is OK for the sha bearings to slightly overhang the slot. The assembly may need inset into the keybed to accommodate the key solenoid rail and rail cover. ... - Page 25 July 2013 Installa on Procedure ...Installing the Universal Sostenuto Assembly A ach the small return spring to the thread‐rod so it pulls up on the actuator.
