Because it isn't stable enough. They aay u must remove the hammerhead and reglue it. That's what I learned in my course in the early 90s in London from Steinway Hall chief technician Jeff Prett. I will often use casting though; I overtwist then go back the other way and it seems to stay fine
+Simon Nicholas Bryan Okay I see. I'm pretty sure it is not banned by them though since it's shown in quite a few "making of a Steinway piano" type of videos too. :P
Really! With all of the options available, you chose 'that' for the soundtrack to video about making pianos? It's like being trapped in a high-school music room between class, when the 'non' music student sneak into the room to win access to the grand piano. Even though I speak German, if it hadn't been for the subtitles, making it possible to turn the sound off, it would have been unwatchable. Jazz would have been better, but pseudo video game music! Talk about 'de'composing music! Shame on you Steinway for abandoning your responsibility to promote music's sophisticated heritage in favor of music's slow descent into musical immaturity. No who is satisfied by music like that ever saw the need to by a Steinway to realize it.
such a beautiful video
What song is that playing?
I thought casting had been banned by Steinway a long time ago... (?)
+Simon Nicholas Bryan What casting?
Hello ! Casting, as we call it in england is to alter the angle of the hammer by applying a flame to the shank then twisting in the desired direction
Simon Nicholas Bryan Okay. Why would it be banned?
