- Voicing tutorial on a bright note and how "needling" this note evens that tone out. This is a 1951 Poole Piano Co. Spinet.
Hey Guys! So here's a quick little tutorial on voicing. This little spinet here had one note that was kinda sticking out. So I took my needling tool.
The hammers are pretty worn on this piano. And it's an inexpensive spinet, so I'm just going to go and do some needling right on the hammer.
On an upright piano such as this, the hammers don't shift left or right so you don't need to be concerned about voicing specifically for a shift position as you do in a grand. It worked out great!

Best to sandpaper reround the hammers ; only takes 15 minutes. Needling is the last thing to do.
Don't angree on this one. Sanding means removing felt. Everything you sand is gone forever. Needling voicing is - though temporary - effective as well. I only sandpaper the hammers when the felt is extremely worn out
Excellent sound thanks
How can I make my own needle tool?
Personally, I took the lead out of a mechanical pencil and replaced it with a thin sewing needle
Why didn’t you reshape the hammers first?
yea, I always sand the hammers and get rid of the grooves first, and sometimes that make the sound soft enough,no need needle it.
Both great comments. If i'm just knocking down the tone of an egregious note during the last minute of my tuning then I'm not spending any time filing hammers. However if I'm spending more time specifically voicing and regulating the piano, then yes, I always file all hammers prior to voicing. Great observation.
what was the song played at the end ?
Bach's invention in D minor
@@LD-tv1yv thank you so much!
@@hazysyd you're welcome!
I would never neefle the hammer crown that aggressively
I was thinking the same! Probably will decrease the lifespan of the whole hammer itself
There are better tools for upright voicing like a Yamaha thumb type needle tool.
Glad to hear that. Would you mind sending me a link, or do you have a video demonstrating that tool?
This tool will also go between strings in a grand. No need for two tools when one does both.
@@jbuzz8853 Best to think from the clients point of view, Do they care how few tools you have?
@@ChernobieffPiano Could you elaborate on what you mean here? Does a client prefer a technician to have excess tools just for appearance? Or is the number of tools irrelevant from a client's point of view? Genuinely curious. Thank you if you're able to find the time to respond.
Для начала отшлифуй молотки..
Just made it dull sounding....ruined that layer of felt....
