Rescuing an old English upright piano from being thrown away. I tackle the problems on a budget. A moving company had this piano in their storage facility and was marked for disposal but dropped it off to my place. The piano was generally in good condition but it needed new key tops and a good service and clean. Key Words... Beginner piano. Fixing an old piano. Free piano. Buying an old piano. ...

I rescue an old Yamaha piano from a primary school. The piano was beaten up and two keys were not working. I take toe piano to my workshop and bring the piano back to life by repairing the faults and giving the case a new paint job. I sprayed the case with satin black spray paint and tuned the piano and now it is ready for a new home.

Rescuing an old German upright piano from disposal which hasn't been tuned for nearly 20 years! I tackle the problems on a budget. A fellow dealer had this piano in his van and was on his way to the tip but dropped it off to my place. The piano was very out of tune so I tuned the piano back up to concert pitch. Piano tuning, string repair and removing a mouse nest were the main issues. Key Word...

    What a beautiful upright. The black upright my mom got me to learn on took two visits by the tuner as it was so far out. Why would you throw away that beauty because of a dead mouse? You don’t burn your house down if theres a mouse in it. Neat video. It sounds great.

    I would really like to see you address the Balance Rail punchings and then the Front Rail punchings and how you measure the associated distances, choose the correct thickness of the various paper punchings and set each one correctly throughout. I have a 1916 upright that I just restrung and replaced the hammers. But now I have to regulate the rest of the piano and getting the balance rail and the front rail "just SO" is very important for key dip. This seems a very long and complicated process involving a great deal of measuring in thousands of an inch across the complete key bed. Id love to see how its done.

    This was lovely to watch. In this disposable age, to see you breathe life back into that lovely instrument is really special. Last year I inherited a well looked-after 1904 Richard Lipp & Sons twin crown and play it for 1 to 2 hrs every day. It has a gorgeous tone and a lovely touch but isn't holding its tune so well any more. Makes me want to do a restoration of my own, but it could be a step too far for me. In any case, it really warms my heart to see you rescuing pre-loved pianos so they can continue to bring joy (and not become landfill). Warm regards from Sydney - Dave

      @@Playingbyear i approached a piano dealer who was about to retire. I told him I was interested in piano trading as I have always been good at fixing things/DIY and I'm a player. He gave me 2 Pianos which were from the 1960s and over the 1st 2 years, he gave me pointers when I got stuck. The majority of my input was UA-cam videos, mostly Howard Piano Industries videos and also a book called piano tuning servicing and repairs. I did consider courses and qualifications but there is really no need, experience is key so just get into an old piano, take it to bits and have fun😊

      @@50calgaming18 Hey there, Vinegar mixed with hot water 50/50 with some lemon juice is supposed to be good. If that doesn't work, shellac in a spray can will seal the odor into the wood. Usually, if a customer complains about the smell of smoke, I suggest they start smoking so the smell of their house matches the smell of the piano. I know, I'm a freaking genius! 🤣

Does ANYbody have a proper scheme to use which groups in which sequence in order to raise the pressure in balance and prevent damage?
