施坦威B-211重建榔头整音及调音

有一位钢琴技师说重建钢琴榔头一定要带着制造钢琴的思维去做，而不是简单的榔头修复或者更换……。遗憾的是我现在经手的这台施坦威 B211 钢琴榔头的重建没有这样思路，导致客户埋怨和遗憾的同时也让我感到责任和压力。

确认目标就是在保留能量的同时消除杂音和噪声，最大极限的涉及针刺位置——深针刺，寻找最小限度的针刺数——则必须在打击点上针刺……使用定音静音楔和强奏测试来确定哪些弦的音是嘈杂的。通过多年纽约施坦威钢琴的调音及整音经验我认为，对一套新弦槌进行整音，有多种途径使其符合钢琴和客户所需。为了弥补弦槌制造和设计上及重建过程中与钢琴不匹配，适度使用各种整音环节及程序最终达到理想的音色。

贝多芬的作品《悲怆》的慢板（Adagio cantabile）乐章是整首曲子最为著名的部分，以悲伤、深沉的旋律为特点。它以柔和的钢琴演奏和弱弱的音量及音色开始，然后在旋律上逐渐加强达到高潮，接着又逐渐减弱。通过整音后弹奏这架施坦威钢琴的音色出现了柔润般的改变，完全展示了其柔美润泽的饱满音色精华乃至旋律结束，客户和我的弹奏体验同步产生了共鸣均留下深刻的印象。

Steinway B-211 reconstruction hammer tuning and tuning

A piano technician once said that rebuilding piano hammers must be done with the mindset of piano manufacturing, not simply as a hammer repair or replacement… Unfortunately, the hammer rebuilding of the Steinway B211 piano I’m currently handling didn’t follow this approach, leading to customer complaints and regret, while also making me feel a sense of responsibility and pressure.

The goal is to eliminate unwanted noise and interference while preserving energy. This involves maximizing the hammer penetration—deep penetration—and finding the minimum number of penetrations—which requires penetration at the point of impact… Using tuning wedges and forte tests to determine which strings are noisy. Based on years of experience tuning and voicing Steinway pianos in New York, I believe there are multiple ways to voic a new set of hammers to suit the piano and the customer’s needs. To compensate for any mismatches in hammer manufacturing and design, and during the rebuilding process, various voicing steps and procedures are appropriately used to ultimately achieve the ideal tone.

The Adagio Cantabile movement of Beethoven’s “Pathétique” is the most famous part of the entire piece, characterized by its sorrowful and profound melody. It begins with a gentle piano playing and a soft volume and timbre, then gradually builds up to a climax in the melody, before gradually fading away. After voicing, the Steinway piano’s tone undergoes a smooth change, fully showcasing its rich and full-bodied tone. Even at the end of the melody, the client and I resonated with each other, leaving a deep impression. a deep impression.
