Does it sound better after restauration? I wonder if the VC series have a different string length and scale, compared to the 200.

Loved the video! Thanks for showing us the "lungs" of this breathing instrument. You brought it back to life!

You are talented. I just bought a Chickering, so this was especially fascinating for me.

Amazing work!

B? D? M?

Great job! 👌 Was that chalk you put into the tuning pin holes?

Salut my friend super Piano super video subscribe subscribe ...

All looks typical - but at 2:40, what is the lubricant used on the bridge?

Hello String Nibblers, I am a piano tech in Massachusetts. What is the tool that you used to clean the glue off of the hammer shank. I'd like to get one of those. Thanks, Joe

Great info!. I suspected of something like that on my YAMAHA U3H but now I am decided to check it in detail!. Thanks!!!

Sounds beautiful after! Like a true steinway!!! Question: about the touchweight does it change after moving the hammers?

Grateful for the mute button.

What a beautiful piano!!!!

My grand has some prominent overtones when the mid-range notes are played. Seems like it is from the high notes which don't have dampers. How to quell the overtones in this case?

How did you attach the handle to the action board?. Directly with wood screws? or inserts first and then machine screws? Is this something done commonly? I have a very hard time pulling out the action ; it seems to me the handle would greatly facilitate that process, but I ma afraid to ruin the board

Nice video. I would use black nylon electrical lacing cord. It will last much, much longer than cotton cord, and it won't absorb moisture, rot, or get stiff/brittle.

What is the glue, is it just PVC wood glue? You mentioned non drip?

Why don't pianos have a thin wooden strap with felt on it that simply rests on those parts of the strings and attaches to the plate (frame/harp) to keep it in place?

I am a new student studying for my RPT certification. I know it's not practical, but could one cut a large piece of felt that fits into that whole non-speaking section so that when weaved into those strings they dampen that entire non-speaking portion of the strings, thereby letting no harmonics through. Or are the non-speaking parts of strings relied upon to increase overall harmonic tone in a piano?

Very good job..thanks!!

Thanks Daniel, your videos are always helpful!

Very good❤

Spettacolo❤

very nice tips! I'm getting a grand with almost exactly same issue as payment for moving a new one for the client.

Nice! This is essentially what I'm going to be doing with the new Kauai portable digital piano I bought. Sid you find it hard to get an accoustic piano that fit the full digital keyboard case? Also, Is there a way to have the key cover still and be functional?

Nice job, Dan!!!

😂bellissimo 😊

beautiful!! i would find a piano like this..i am in Rome!!

please let me know a piano like this,!! this old piano have great sound... I know one like this, much similar and have a very good sound!.. but it's old too...

Very informative. Thanks. Why are piano plates always painted GOLD?

Did this instrument come from the factory like this? I was under the impression that their jigs for hammer lines were made to account for these slight variations. Does this mean that the capo bar was cast a bit off? Could the variations be as a result of the hammers themselves rather than the hammer line? I’ve been working on Steinways for 45 years……still mystified by the things that can go wrong.

Wonderful, powerful rich sound from these old upright grands. Great to see all the action. Glad you are fixing this one. I just bought a 1902 Schaaf upright 58" ( Chicago). Love the big uprights.

Thanks for the tour thru your great concert grand. Tremendous sound. I just bought a 1902 Schaaf. Love the old uprights.

magnifico.❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Believe it or not, this is my Aunt's piano. We had a family friend who had recently passed away and he had this piano. My aunt had inherited the piano and sent it to you to be fixed. When she saw your video, she started crying. Thank you for doing this for her.

Why didn't you use new dowels mounted in the cast iron frame after removing the old dowels and drilling through all the elements at one angle?

1:13 so over here, the wood stick thing will sort of "scratch" the round cotton part, so after 8000 times or 100,000 times or 500,000 times of such scratching, doesn't the round thing need a replacement because part of it is scratched off or became thin

0:48 is that red thingy magnetic? It is like, "I have gone through the 'let off' (escapement) process and I need to come back, and I need a little help from this magnetic friend to pull me back"

this probably is acoustic, not digital, because there is a hammer with cotton hitting a metal bar which is supposedly a metal string, and a damper on top of that metal bar which is to dampen the string

0:47 is this precisely showing what the "let-off", also known as "escapement" mechanism is? It is like one of the universe big mysteries solved

Would it have killed you to maybe add a little text explaining what you were doing and how you got your results, rather than a keystone cops version of harp refinishing?

Seems to me that the piano would have to be level along the string alignment or that you would need a level with a bubble adjustment capstan to adjust the bubble to “level” on the speaking length before you placed it on the back scale. If not then the downbearing angle won’t be controlled or uniform in the areas where you want it to be 1/2°.

which primer do you use?

Thank you for sharing this. Beautifully done & great help.

You are good technician why do you waste your time

It's a waste on time unless they pay you lots of money

This is worth piano I ever worked on.

woow..... i would play and tuning piano like this!! great sound... like one of my school!! old and vintage sound!

I would be grateful if you or one of the commenters can contact me. I've acquired on of these (Prince & Co. pt 1845), it appears to be in very intact shape, except no sound. The bellows and wind chest to exterior touch feel intact, except that I can see/feel that the (papered canvas?) top back edge of the wind chest is unglued from the top back of the box, thus letting air flow out there. Wondering if hide glue should be attempted here? The airchest seems very intact except some surface wear on the corners, and wondering if I should reinforce this with some historically appropriate material (varnish or glue? Paper as it seems to be coated with? I hesitate to do anything that makes it less flexible and needs to be undone for a proper fix). Thanks very much for any advice!

I'd like to have seen the strings & pins go in or at least the end result. I've never done a pin block & I'm wondering how you got the pins to be straight in the block seeing there didn't seem to be a guide keeping the new block straight when you were drilling.
