      Haha, I’m glad you like the details :)
      In general, there is a ton that goes on behind the camera. Most of these repairs, cleanings, and tunings take me hours, and I edit everything down into one minute. These videos are just for entertainment… not really “DIY” videos.
      If you want to learn how to become a certified piano tech, there is a certification program linked on my profile. (I’ll be making a video about it soon)

      Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus!

    I teach piano lessons to a family, the children are wonderful students, but the mom got the piano from the side of the street😢. It's rather horrible to play, and it has at least one dead key.
    On a side note, would it be very hard for a senior woman like me to do piano tuning? I'm afraid the pieces of the piano might be too heavy. I have more often thought of tuning pianos of my students. Possibly???

      I tune my own piano at home. I am not a professional and I'm quite sure I'm not doing it perfectly, but there aren't any heavy pieces to move. There are 1 to 3 strings per key though so it is tedious and if even one string is out of tune it is VERY noticeable. It took my piano teacher multiple trips to tune my piano when I was a kid getting lessons.

    Detail for choosing right size for new pin, is to pick next size bigger from pin that's replaced. That's roughly 0,025mm larger pin. That way it fits tightly in wooden part. Bushings might have to be reamed a bit, since pin is slightly larger.

    Why cut the excess and then just trying it

    • @redpandamurphy
      @redpandamurphy 7 днів тому +36

      So that the excess doesn't intrude upon the other keys beside it and so that the hammer can swing freely to a certain extent. If the hammer swings slowly, it means the hammers hinge is too tight, and if it swings too fast, it means the hammer is too loose. You want the hammer to be able to return to its original position easily and safely so these measures are done to do so.
