Upright Piano Action

[gnmn1987]

man you got a lot of haters! lol  ....what part of "its just for entertainment" don't they get??!!

[kallikatz]

The damper doesn`t work right, the hammer doesn`t catch, the escape of the hammer is unlogical....how can you make such a video if you don`t know how the action works.

Plesae, take it out...nothing is explained here.

[dacasman]

@kallikatz Okay I see what you mean. But keep in mind, this was made on a program that is very hard to mimic real world physics. the software is just not stable enough. this is as close as I could get. I realize there are a few parts that I forgot to fix to the background, and a few parts that are to far apart from each other.

I uploaded this video for entertainment purposes, and so far it looks like its doing just fine as that.

[kallikatz]

the same nonsense like the grand action. Take it out , please.

[dacasman]

@kallikatz Im not sure what you mean =\

THEMUNICH123!!!!!!!

[dacasman]

@TheMunich123 ok?

[MrSnbryan]

That's great ! you can see it clearly ! But did you see that the Jack is not sitting properly under the notch ? you have to put the hammer rest rail further forward or lower and capstan and touch.

[guayaba1marboricua]

I like it !!! EXCELENT JOB !!! later you need to add the bridle strap and bridle wire.

[Sc0ttPrian]

wait this was made in phun?!!?

[Are44441]

LOL i have this #LOL

[Are44441]

what is the name of this?

[dacasman]

@Are44441 what exactly do you mean?

[pianola6588]

Where is the bridle strap???

[adrin181]

Poor you XD

[dacasman]

@adrin181 excuse me?

[edtomlinson]

The jack does not rest properly on the Hammer butt leather. Bad illustration of this section of the piano. The jack should rest on the butt felt in the key "up" position. Escapement is not shown properly with such an acute angle to the hammer butt.

[yukinfahoo]

That awsome! Too bad Algodoo doesnt have sound, that would be perfect.

[dacasman]

@yukinfahoo thanks for the comment. you were my idol when i first started PHUN. i love all your creations. :D

btw. my name is lethalsquirl in the algodoo/phun community : )

[tunglour]

God, it sounds like a clavichord, not a piano...

Very nice vid, I can't figure out exactly how it works.

[anss321]

Neat. Couldn't figure out the mechanism just by looking.

[MacKniven]

Thanks dude. This helped me a lot when pulling apart an old piano action stack.

[NoginLogin]

You should make loads and they should add sounds to phun. Then you can play songs. Would take a ton of RAM and a good PC to run that though!

[sosna00]

hm.. the piano has sooo complicated mechanics, impressive . thanks for modeling

[eltonjohnfan100]

ummmm the jack tail never even hits the letoff button!

[dacasman]

yeah i noticed that, and the part that the damper hits is not supposed to move. =\

[eltonjohnfan100]

the note its playing is a B

[abs1296]

[dacasman]

[tuchicilina]

[dacasman]

[tatt61880]

[dacasman]

[dacasman]
