Subject: RE: Restringing antique upright grand piano
piece of week? Boy, was my hand off on the keyboard. Piece of wood.
Interesting bit about the soundboard. Do get a second opinion, Q.
My sounding board is fine, a beautiful birdseye maple. But the strings need replacing, the felts, the hammers, all sorts of stuff. It was built in about 1889. That's a long time for felt to hang around.
