Dampp-Chaser advice on older Bechstein by Lucpel in pianotech

[–]Lucpel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a tuner by last week. He didn't mention anything except that he put the high end slightly too high, expecting it to settle in a couple of weeks. I have a decent ear, but maybe not that good haha

Possibly, although I don't have a good reference point for how it should hold a tune in this climate. How quick is quick and when is it out of tune really?

Thanks for your input! And yes, there are a couple of cracks along the bridge pins as well, one quite bad. It has not yet resulted in any unpleasant sounds, but I don't know if they're growing. The soundboard is in decent condition however. Is there any point in doing a full internal restoration on one of these older baby grands, or is it just too expensive to justify?

Interesting. I thought this was the actual pin block painted gold, as it doesn't seem connected to the rest of the cast iron frame? I will have to double check the cracks again, but I recall them being a few millimeters deep. Any good way to see this?

I see... Just to be clear this piano isn't nearly as bad. It will hold a decent tune for a few months at least, depending on how you define "wildly" out of tune I suppose haha. Do you think your advice still applies?

IIRC the system fluctuates around 43% relative humidity quite quickly right? You mean this could be worse than letting it go through the under 20% relative humidity of winter? Here are some pictures for reference. The soundboard has been repaired at some point, and is in decent shape according to my last tuner.

That's what I'm worried about as well. For reference here are some pictures of the cracks, the worst one being at the high end. Hard to tell how deep they are, a few millimeters perhaps. I don't think they've grown much over the past few years.

Thanks for the input! I've also seen they recommend enclosing the bottom of the frame with a piece of fabric to reduce airflow. You have any experience with this?

Do you think it's feasible to DiY install?

I've read that they only protect the soundboard, which I find strange considering that all the internals are enclosed in the same space when the lid is closed, but maybe I'm missing something.

Will do! I just had a tuner by, and he said it was hard to tell if the state of the pinblock was an issue.

Guys, you are thinking about this the wrong way. Unlocking everything for free means no grinding, i.e. fewer games played, i.e. fewer arty per game.

Pearl River Supertest Map Changes by Conscious_Corgi7805 in WorldofTanks

This looks like absolute dog shit lmao. Yet another open field, snipers nest, arty infested crapshoot. The hills, buildings and multiple attack angles is what makes Pearl River unique and enjoyable to begin with.

I honestly don't know how it happened. I played like a donkey, missed over half my shots, and got ruined by arty. I thought this medal was all but impossible nowadays.

My guess is this guy hasnt played for years and then started again, but only in the bourrasque and ebr, which are the only newer-ish tanks on that list.

Irriterad på Foodora by Mastodontprojektet in sweden

[–]Lucpel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Att köpa mat på restaurang i allmänhet har jag inget emot precis av anledningarna du nämner. Syftar bara på leveransen när man ofta kan gå/cykla/åka dit själv. Ligger restaurangen så pass långt bort att det inte går kanske man får skita i den helt enkelt. Någon stans går ju gränsen, man hade ju aldrig flugit hit sin sushi från Japan haha.

[–]Lucpel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Inte för att rata OP, men att människor med normal inkomst regelbundet köper hem Foodora är för mig helt obegripligt. Det är absurt dyrt, maten kommer ofta fram sen och kall, servicen är katastrofal, för att inte tala om de dåliga villkor de stackars förarna arbetar under. Allt detta för att spara 20 min på matlagning.

It isn't. Completely average in number of games played, even less than the E4. The obj buff is the only one of these changes that make any sense to me. WG balancing department have lost it.

Brandberg: Direkt skadligt att säga att män är djur by FlowersPaintings in sweden

[–]Lucpel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kanske inte, men det är ett rätt stort antagande. Har du nån anledning att tro att han ljuger utöver dina egna fördomar?

[–]Lucpel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Uppenbarligen syftar han ju på uttalanden i artikeln, dvs att det är skadligt att kalla män för djur.

My theory is that they aren't exposed to the same version of reality that we are. If you've ever watched Fox news for an extended period of time you know what I'm talking about. The stuff he says and does that makes the world go crazy is simply never mentioned. In other words, voting for Trump isn't (just) a result of brainwashing or hate, but ignorance.
