So, I’m still working on my piano. I took a long hiatus, finishing my undergraduate career, but now I’m back in the heat, cutting up my fingers with razorblades. So, here’s an update with a few pictures:
A mass of hammers, in the process of having cloth attached at various points:
A mass of dampers, seven of which had to have ingenious ways of affixing new springs:
A mass of naked hammers, getting ready to have felts and bridle straps all gluey and on them:
So right now, I’m finishing up the hammers. The stickers only need two dabs of graphite each, and the dampers are all done. Then it’s a wire brush on all of them, cleaning up the dust and grime, then back on the rails they go.
Then time for regulating it.
