Question about out of tune piano

Post by DkCHoPSUEY on Tue Jun 30, 2009 5:30 pm

Okay, so the other day, I was learning how to accent this chord in the Revolutionary Etude by Chopin. I think I accented this chord a little too hard, so one of the notes immediately got out of tune with one play. Besides the out of tune string, did I damage anything else on accident? Like, is it bad for the hammer if I play the note too hard? I need to know so I don't do this again in the future.

mmm i dont rly think so... unless the parts are very old or "loose" (dunno if they can be xD) they shouldnt be damaged. grands and upright are supposed to endure a lot of hammering... like this:

I didn't know you could get one key out of tune if you play it too hard. I better stop messing around with my piano when I'm bored silent
