Liquid Hide Glue Globs - New Key Bushings
Переглядів 1064 місяці тому
If you’re hearing a clicking noise in your keys, it could be due to dried glue gloves. This sometimes happen when you install new key bushings as was the case with this Steinway keyboard. Hot hide glue is the traditionally recommended glue for bushing keys, but we have discovered that you can also use StewMac Fish Glue. www.amazon.com/StewMac-Fish-Glue-8-ounce-Bottle/dp/B01MQKNC5C.

Plugging lead holes in old key sticks - KEY WEIGH OFF

When shooting for an ideal touch weight (how easy or hard it is for the player to press the keys) parts replacement may be necessary and/or the capstan may need to be moved to achieve a better action ratio. Regardless, the leads in the keys will need to be weighed off. Old leads need to be removed, holes plugged, and the keys re-weighed. This is a quick video showing how we plugged the original...

How to reveal the keys to unscrew and fix the distance between 2 keys when one key moves 2 hammers
Is there any way to enhance the mute while at the same time not hindering the overall sound quality too much? I live in an apartment and really need to have a very good mute. I tried doing this myself but can't quite get the perfect balance just yet. It's either too loud or the sound quality is average and some notes played at mf sound pp and some mp
I would mind a little sustain, but very good!
Would be easier if the tool fit tighter on the pins.
So you put the support on the side that you want to move the jack towards, and then you hit the top of the jack?
Is that just painter's tape?
Just dropped the spring under the key …. Fuckkk
Hello. I have big problem. Piano key when pressed doesnt want to 'get up' anymore. It started after spilled some liquids between these two notes. I opened piano and tried to grind wood to make it smaller but nothing. When I move nearest right key, it works.
Seems like it may be easy to have the tuning lever tip wrench a little wonky snd damage the tuning lever. Use causion when doing this
Wow so many people in the comments who know everything about piano tuning. Crazy
Thank you so much for this video, I thought I lost my phone forever. You saved me!!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE AMAZING I LOVE YOU BRO
That's very clever. I don't like working on spinets
More like this! Awesome!
Seriously fantastic piano. I could cry.
How do you get the sostenuto pedal to work on an upright piano?
What was the music that you played?
I would be laying my tools on a cloth, not just tossing then around on interior parts.

Oh, how cool it would have been to see this in 1983 when I started. Then my search would be much shorter. But even now it’s very informative. Thank you very much!
Do not like. It does not sparkle.
Thanks a million! I had to remove the action inorder to glue a couple of key tops back on to my Yamaha GB1. This video was essential to my success. Thank you!!

Для начала отшлифуй молотки..
On my Rosler upright piano the front oval pins of the keyboard frame are totally oval and therefore difficult to rotate angularly
Thanks for this video😊
1:00 Here’s an update: a few months later I got a call from the client that the buzz came back. I ended up returning to her home and removing and twisting each bass string (for free). No small expense on my part as it took 2 to 3 hours, but it was the right thing to do. So in short, the lowering and raising of the pitch temporarily got rid of the buzz, but it was not a permanent fix. When I was done with the job the second time, I told her that if the buzzes come back again that the next step would be to replace all of the base strings, and quoted her a four digit price. I haven’t heard from her again, so I am really, not sure if the buzzes have returned once more, but at least she is now empowered with the correct information, and you and I have all learned something in the process!
Nice work. Thanks for providing the opportunity to watch a full piano tuning. I am just getting started as a tuner and it's been a huge learning experience every time. I do prefer the sound of using electronic tuning apps though. I'm not sure I like this temperament, but your skills are certainly better than mine on unisons.
Not all heroes wear capes
tyyyy
Thanks.TOP😉😉
I’d put tape on both sides.
Hello, how much did all the work cost?
It was around 20k usd.
Beautiful 1905 Ellington upright grand piano. Lovely Tiger oak. Terrific tone. So glad to see big antique American uprights being rehabbed, restored and played. Great work. Bravo.
Many thanks!
I’ve read about this method and others like it. Can someone please explain why we tune F3 to the fork, then tune A4 to that? The matching beats etc makes sense but the WHY alludes me! Cheers
Great tip Duncan, thanks for sharing.

Spot on!
Quit 'having fun' and showing off, you wasted a lot of time and clearly didn't leave it in tune. Best to leave it to the experts.
B3 was still slow :)
nice lol that wooden chip.....lol I love the pic/mural/photo/music notation framed above the piano! And wow what a scene....just beautiful...
TY! This worked perfectly!
Can I add a mute rail to my piano?
yep, I guess I need to change a few springs of my piano too 🙂
