The 'Ukelano' attachment is operated by a choke-type cable under the keybed on the left hand side of the piano. It is also known as a 'Honky-Tonk' or 'Mandolin' feature. To activate the feature, pull the black knob outwards. If you open the top of the piano, you can see an aluminum rail that's positioned between the piano strings and piano hammers. To it is connected a piece of felt, in the bass section, and a piece of heavy cloth, in the tenor and treble sections. The cloth is cut in such a way that a 2" piece dangles in front of each hammer. To each piece is connected a piece of tin. When in service, the hammer hits the tin piece and it, in turn, strikes the strings, creating a "rinky-tink" sound similar to that of an old piano with very hard hammers. I do not advocate the use of the Ukelano attachment on a regular basis as it will disfigure the shape of the hammer heads over time. |

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message. |
