Upright Regulation 

The closest piano tuner from my piano is further than 600 km, and need two helokopter flights, and a plane to arrive. Thank you again for your work. It helps to understand better.

You deserve all the love. This is the kind of instruction that will be worth its weight in gold if, godforbid, piano techs ever start becoming even rarer.

i love the opening with combat action music followed by calm guitar music

Oh my gosh you are so underrated, I would've easily dropped A couple grand on a course to teach me what you just taught me in a 23 minute video, you're a real one! ❤❤❤

This is the most informative video about piano regulation I've watched.

This is the most informative video about this, and straight forward! Good job!

Thank you dearly for making such a well structured video! I've seen a lot of videos about the individual steps, but this was the best "overview" of the entire process and the order in which you tackle the steps. Big help! x

Great tutorial thanks!

Wow this stuff is gold for us new piano tuners who don't plan on joining the PTG. I do tunings but would like to be able to diagnose/repair minor glitches in the piano action...especially when a customer points it out. Thanks so much for a such an info-packed, well-edited video!!

always wondered how this worked ....facinating watch...thanks for posting, excellent presentation.

Wonderful! Thank-you!

Fantastically helpful. Thank you.

Awesome! Great job communicating order and techniques. Thanks!!

This video is beyond excellent. Incredibly informative and organized, will definitely be helpful!

Great! Os the best of regulation explain!

Very good! Thanks!

thank you coach

Thanks for the great overview!

This video is great to keep Thank you

Great opening montage and music. Someone get this man an academy award. I'll subscribe on that alone.

Muchas gracias amigo saludos desde Guayaquil Ecuador

Wow! I'm waiting for overdamper upright regulation. Nice job!

Thanks for this important video

¡"EXTREMELY" INTERESTING AND CLEAR¡" THANKS. LUIS

Thanks for this your video!!

Thank you，Very comprehensive, condensed into one video

Nice and clear explanations. Thank you for a very informative video.

Subscribed from Greenland! Thank you

thank you

Thanks for sharing!!!

For regulating uprights work from string to finger; for grands from finger to string. It is best to not alter let-off for solving bubbling issues. The Renner type let-off tool is better, with the flexible, gentler shaft/wire (?) In this video the keys are not reaching the front touch felt because the jacks are held by the slap rail. Blow: 45 mm Set-off: 2 Checking: 12 Damper lift: 19 Key height: 19 above key slip I find the spoon tool shown in the video impossible to use: I use the Renner spoon adjuster (straight one and curved type; both very useful): Set one or 2 dampers per section; Action out; tie lift rod to action standard and adjust tension until hammer moves together with damper when the lever is tweaked; adjust all other spoons to match. Simultaneous lift must be done before.

Great share, fascinating.

Just recommended a Customer to you from League City Texas. Moved to Florida 4years ago. Not sure where in Florida. Name is John Campbell.

20:09 I am trying to deduce why my keys are not repeating. Either it is 1 the jack spring or 2 the tight whole in the key or 3 one of the three wooden flanges on which the mechanism is turning or 4 20:26 the upper spring

This is great instruction for regulating right piano! Thank you so much for sharing, it is really helpful! Could you please explain why some of white key pop up about 3mm above the others after finger quickly/suddenly released from key? where do I adjust to stop it happening? Thank you!

This is great! Thank you! I like that it’s concise. Easier to see the bigger picture and also easier to remember the individual steps. Will you be doing one for grand regulation as well?

Los vídeos son muy interesantes pero tendrían que tener subtitulos

Great video. Thank you! My ultimate guide for adjusting a piano i am using to lean how to be my own "technitian" 😅 I have a hofmann and czerny upright, it feels so light 😢 how should I calibrate so it fiel as heavy as possible? The damper spoon set outwards, the letoff very far from strings? Something else? I am so sad it feels that light 😢

Great video!!! One thing I saw is that you have not adjusted the external damper of the keys... Is the travel of the keys to be limited by the dampers? If yes is the answer, how has to be set and when in the described procedure?

Thank you. Very useful info! I have been able to solve all problems with my Yamaha upright's action except one. One key, G3#, produces an intermittent "twangy buzz" sound on top of the tone when struck. I don't know how to describe it any other way. It's not always there, and not at all force levels, but it is enough to be noticeable on pieces like the Moonlight Sonata. The piano was recently restrung and refinished. Could that be a problem with the new strings or the action? Thanks!

Many thanks for the most informative video. A question on lefoff. Could differences in letoff alter the volume of a note for a given touch. From what you say regarding heaviness it sounds like it can. I have a brand new piano with a treble (circa two octaves above middle C) that sounds louder for a given amount of key pressure/velocity than the lower notes (circa an octave or more below middle C), with the lefoff for the lower notes being far greater than the treble. In the worst case, lower notes can be as great as 10mm and upper notes as little as 1mm. There is a general increase in letoff as ones goes up in pitch, but there is a lot of note to note variation too. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. I got a bit lost on Back Checks - couldn't work out what you were measuring with the gauge and why.

GREAT video!! I have a question if u don't mind, recieved a piano as a gift today but on some of the keys the hammers get stuck and won't fall down. Do u know what the solution could be?

At 7:54, you can see the keystick isn't touching the front rail felt. Instead, it looks like the wippen is at its mechanical limit. That's bad, right?

This is exactly what I wanted ! Thank you. What is the regulation for soft pedal ? How many mm the hammer about the string, when the soft pedal is full down ? It's suppose to have a GAP between *metal mecanic frame* and the *hamme slept/nap bar* ?

I just got a free piano from a friend and I was not suprised that it needs a lot of work. It seems like many if not all the keys play as if they're "on" or "off" theres no way to play them softly at all. Im just a pianist and not a tech but I i thought it'd be fun to learn to restore the piano. Does that sound like a regulator/actuon problem to you?

5:00 if you put a paper under one key, don´t you need to put same amount under each key because it elevates the key?

Very helpful. How about changing key weight?

Question? Why do some hammers fall backward or forward loosely immediately after letoff is set?

So as far as the hammer distance to the strings. The only way I can get 46mm is with the pedal depressed to push the hammers forward. That’s how far away the hammers are. What’s up with that?

Where do you recommend buy the tool regulation kit?

Where can I buy on of those action models?
