    A Bosendorfer abandoned in a barn is a sad thing! It's amazing to see you were able to bring this back to life. And the two-tone finish is gorgeous.

      Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.

Cause last piano i tried fixing up i did more damage then i did good. Had to get a tuner out to rectify my stupidity😂 Oh well you live and learn. Edit* the piano was free, If i paid for it i would of left it in the state it came in.

    Looks very nice. I suppose the pin block was strong enough to withstand fatter tuning pins rather than replacing it? And - too bad you ran out of time to record the music you played - - that is, not waiting until the piano's tuning and voicing had properly been completed. I imagine it should sound quite nice after that.
