a piano problem

[clef]

hi

recently (as in about 4 months ago) we had our piano retuned and completly redone... ie new felts on the hammers and new dampers ect... anyway, now the Db bellow low C is making a very strange noise, as if, one of the strings is slightly out of tune, and the others are ok.  Does this note even have more then 1 string i thought it was too low hmmm  anyway, we dont want to get the piano tuner back in just for 1 string, so what do I do, try and fix it?  I have a good ear it wouldn't be out of the question? or what, try a new tuner? is this normal for new hammers?  thanks

Hi Clef,

You probably will need to get the tuner back in to regulate the action.  When I had my grand re-done, the let-off went awry after a while, and the hammers bounced back onto the strings, making the piano sound dreadfully out of tune.  It was a failry simple operation to adjust, and it was fine after that.

With all new felts, you may need several regulations over the first year or two as the whole thing settles down. 

Did the work make much difference to the sound and feel otherwise?

Hi clef,

Agree with wishful thinker - get the tuner back to re-do that string.

You had paid for the entire job and when one note is out of tune, it has to be - and will be - done free of charge.
