More Second Piano Project Continued

Here are some more pictures of my findings. The pedals looked very old until I refurbished them. The front two casters were very old looking and when I began to restore them they turned out to be solid brass!!

Second Piano Project Continued

Here are some more details which I have found on this piano which need attention. The biggest problem is that at one time it was infested with moths who burrowed into the felt dampers and any other felt they could find, including all of the felt punchings under the keys.

Second Piano Project

I am taking lessons on how to repair and rebuild pianos. I have finished partially rebuilding a Gulbranson and have delivered it back to it's owners. You can see it here on the blog. Now I am working on another piano for another family. It is a Lester, Betsy Ross Spinet piano. I have discovered quite a few things which need attention and have taken pictures so you can see the progress. More details are on my facebook.
