Mike Pierceall Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I have been repairing the ends and replacing the pads on this 1916 Wheatstone Treble.

Geoff Wooff Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's sounding good Michael but I'd suggest that there is one button where the felt damper between the button and the lever has come adrift or is ineffective. Nice to see the 4a in use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the 4a in use! Yes, it is emerging slowly from a deep sleep. I'm still checking off a list of things to attend to. Funny thing is that I often don't hear the artifacts until I review the video. Thanks for the comment. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the 4a in use! When I was repairing the ends, I had to replace the pillars and the screw cleats for the finger rests and thumb strap brackets. A couple of levers were tapping against the face of the cleat on one side. I shaved it down a bit and double checked the bushings and replaced a few. I found one button with a missing bottom disk. That should take care of some issues. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Franch Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I loved the tune and the chording. My goal, someday!
