Great work! I'll bet it saves you lots of time and effort compared to traditional means

Are you familiar with bacon and raven pianos?

Now 2024 and thank you. Last year I was gifted a Richard Lipp twin crown from around 1904. It has a gorgeous tone, from a wonderfully sonorous bass through a clear mid and relatively bright and clear upper register. She doesn't hold her tune as she once did, so I am thinking it is a wonderful candidate for a restoration, either by yours truly or a professional (or combination). I couldn't imagine our beauty going to landfill - she still has so much music to give. Cheers from Sydney - David

What is the average cost for a full restringing and new pins assuming the pin block is good? I'm trying to plan on restoring my own piano which needs both of those along with new hammers but I can't find any for sale other than the sets of 88 modern ones when I need 77 small uniform ones.

Not good sound for your presentation at least on KZbin difficult to hear

I have had good luck filling odd shaped holes with epoxy puttey, you can fill the hole completely then just use screws into the epoxy to hold your mounting plate on. You can drill holes into the empoxy for the screws and then drill hole in the middle to fit you caster into. You can even just screws into the epoxy before it drys, and then epoxy will hold the screws.

Does it need tuning? Because the chords you play make a distortion noise , not so clean and crisp for a new strings...🤷🏼‍♂️

Most Yamahas I see have tuning pin bushings. Do the C series not? Or was that step just skipped...

Thanks Brigham 😊

Your job is wonderful and the shop is just a dream, maybe its time to invest in a good microphone so we can all appreciate your work at a higher experience level

you need to list price of your pianos on your videos.

Ebony is beautiful in variety of colours, we used in physics to create magnetism .if you brush it with fingers it gets electric and creating electro magnetic field

Beautiful looking and sounding Steinway grand. Love the old wood getting a new life. Thanks Brigham. Bravo.

I have a refinished 7' Decker Brothers semi concert grand from the 1890's. Its made of Brazilian rosewood. Its stunning.

Beautiful piano and sound.

The audio is so poor in this video it is a shame and does not convey the tone or the work you have done. could you re-do it and post again?

This piano reminds me of my piano. I have the kawai KG-5C 6’8”, the size below the piano in this video. It’s a piano with a warm satisfying tone, responsive to the pianist and yes has a rich bass that has power if commanded by the pianist. Love it!

The title may be confusing. I know U3 is an upright Piano. All the same, no worries. Thanks for the video

Great. I loved it

Sure looks better than it sounds.

No Price? No Link to that actual Piano? Why bother making the video? Why should we even bother watching it? Also, 95/100 is a "Fraction"

Beautiful.

My Mom has a Kingsbury piano just like this one. It's gorgeous. And there's not a scratch on it. Wish it wasn't so darn heavy, tho.

It would be amazing to see the story of this piano brought to life - what a piece of history!

You are so talented! Love these hymns!

If everything is new, is that even a stenway? Aside from the wood body, there is nothing original, right? I know nothing about the subject.

Really wish you would use a better mic! Rode videomicro ii is a great inexpensive camera mic which can also be used on smartphones!

You are playing very well!

The piano doesn’t sound good AT ALL…?

This Hamilton is exactly the piano model I learned on in the late 1950’s. It was a free piano painted poorly many times. Despite its flaws, it was all I had. Many ivories were missing but that helped me find my notes.

Mic sucks. Can’t enjoy the hard work because of it

humans this piano made anymore? Hailun only offers pianos at just over 5 foot and under.

I want that piano!! Acrosonic are my favorite pianos ever. Especially those with waterfall keys. 💜🎹

Beautiful

The pianos sound muted and the sound is muffled on you recent videos. I’ve seen this happen on other videos as well. I don’t know what’s going on. Speaking is just fine - only the music.

I am a HUGE fan. I have been watching you for some time, and checked out your amazing store! I love your "before and after" video's, and your daily video's in general. I am a teen that loves pianos, and is willing to pursue my dream. (Piano technician) I have learned alot because of you and your team, and so i'm really grateful for that. I really appreciate your detailed video's, and would love to see more! 😁 Please, don't stop posting. We love you!!😊❤

I bought one at the e convention. I didn’t know about adding the height. Thanks.

If you (or another piano technician) overdoes the voicing so that it loses it's 'oomph' then another possibility is to dope the sides of the felt with a type of varnish known as 'Japan.' Once that has been absorbed into the felt and has dried, it will make the felt FAR harder and then you might have to do some more voicing again...

It's worth mentioning that here in Europe the 'Industry Standard' for replacing sets of hammers are the Abel Natural Felt Hammers which are a delight to voice. Sadly, a lot of pianos from the East (China, etc) come to shops in the West with an excessively bright tone, and the hammers are far harder to voice, having a consistency which seems like granite..! They can be a nightmare.

🚂 Hi from Michigan: Excellent workmanship. This family will be receiving an historic piano, for generations to enjoy. Congrats. 👍

Beautiful playing and looking Schubert upright grand piano. Lovely restoration for another 100 years. Thanks for saving our heritage Brigham. Bravo. Tip of the hat to all the crew.

The same music is used for the hymn, When there’s love at home

What's the type of Hammers and strings on it? I LOVE THE SOUND 😮

Can't you use dentist technology to fill the Gapps in ivory?

I want this Lady to adopt me 😂 I love her❤

I love how this piano looks It reminds me of the Rusty Soldier after he became polished & Shiny in the end of (Return to Oz) ❤😅 How much does it cost to rebuild a piano from 1994?

Banjo bar definitely reminds me of the saloons in the Westerns where you've got the piano player in the background cranking out Stephen Foster tunes and other old time tunes from the 1800s on a banjo bar rinky tink upright. I also know that George P. Bent Crown was a big builder of rinky tink banjo bar pianos. I love the scene in Tombstone where Doc Holliday is playing Chopin on a piano that looks just like that one.

why do old american women always wear those awful shorts and have the bleached short hair look and way too much makeup?

Ur a life saver

Nice job! I just got a 3d printer myself for the same reason, needed 3 odd shape wippens, now I just need to find the right resin and process to make it right. any suggestions?
