I love your video series and have learned SO MUCH, but this particular video angle doesn't allow us to see what's actually being changed and by how much.

This video saved me years ago. Have you any advice on una chorda adustment, stop screw, rod adjustment ? The hammers seem to be in alignment. 1925 Knabe 5'8". it was just delivered.

What if when 3 consecutive hammers move by the key in the middle? And when two keys are so close together that they rub against each other? How to fix that? 😢

I’m assuming this video would be helpful if you had put the camera on what you were actually doing and talking about. The camera angle makes it hard to understand. But thank you for trying to help

Thank you very much for explanation!

Thank you for this instructional video. My question is whether or not squaring and properly distancing the backchecks is the first thing you would do to deal with bobbling hammers. Thank you!

Thank you so much for being honest and freely sharing your information. Tuners in my country are very secretive and they don't explain things to customers (even those who are musicians). I'm very grateful. Wishing you all the best!

Just moved into a house & the guy left a grand piano. This is the only video I could find on how to take it apart to fix things, thank you!

Do new pianos need to have this done to them?

Thanks for nice explaining video!

I really would like to work and live in Your country...

Mister, do some work safety consideration! You placed all the shit around so you trip over it.

This is the best video, I found on the subject. Real quality content! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Do you have a video that shows how to tune the piano?

For anyone who cares, the tool bag I use is a tech xl veto pro bag. If full it does get heavy, but they also have a wheeler version of the Tech xl bag that you can wheel around. These are amazing bags that I would highly recommend using. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone.

The problem comes from using something different from hide glue, and treating (voicing, needling) with chemical stuff. Voicing is useless if the hammers are good. Hide glue can be replaced easily. Titebond or CA glue can't be replaced, because it just turn into cement powder, which is difficult to get rid off totally. And changing glue is normally a big mistake. Once you use hide glue, you should use always hide glue. Time consuming, expensive? Not if you do it yourself. It's not rocket science.

question. could i use a deep socket instead of the tuning hammer??

helpful vid thanx

Hello, It was so usefull! Thank you!

I replaced my felt pads in place with having to removing them.

Use a bit of heat on that butt. Heat plus water = easy extraction every time.

How do you remove the tone bars from the soundboard without ripping up the spruce? Heat and steam? I am looking to repurpose the spruce soundboards. Thanks.

Thankyou, the demonstration clicked the wheels in my brain I play guitar, it is exactly like guitar harmonics....exactly !

Thanks to you, I repaired our piano a few days before my son's exam at the music school

Hello! Why is it that you performed this method on all of the bass tuning pins? In Arthur Reblitz’ book, I understood it as if when a large number of tuning pins are going out of tune fast, it could be an indication of a cracked pinblock, and that pounding the pins deeper could worsen the problem. Thanks so much for the video!

What are the most gauges in a say Steinway piano ?

Thanks for this video!

what about alignment to the strings ?wouldn't that need to be adjusted as well?

Have you ever recommended the replacement of all the strings of a piano. I have a 40 yr old Kawai baby grand. No broken strings. According to piano technician some strings are starting to rust and must be replaced. Is this true or the piano tech just wants to scam me?

SO NO BECKET??

Excelent explanations! Thank you very much

saul goodman?

Do you guys still sell the elbow spinner the thing you put in the drill gun I don't know where else to look for it or what they're called

You solved my issue thanks! KZbin is awesome! …sometimes….

I have tune my piano twice now. The first time that I tuned it it lasted about 3 weeks. However, the second time that I've turned it started going out of town about a day or two after. It didn't help that I had to tune the piano in two sessions, the treble part of the piano one day and the bass of the piano the following day. Thank you for the tips I hope I do a better job next time.

yup - old trick to loosen corrosion. But - there is a rub, here. By twisting the tuning pin to release and reestablish tension, you reduce the pin to pinblock friction. This results in loosened pins and can cause some exciting problems! Usually, though, the impact is negligible. Just something to keep in mind.

It seems like a great video, but the volume is so low I can't hear it clearly, even with my MacBook volume all the way up (and the volume slider on you tube all the way up). :(

Piano tuning newbie here, your 5th partial example (@3:30) sounds quite sharp to me, comparing to the piano note you played. Am I hearing that correctly?

Спасибо! Всё понятно и доступно.

Hello, great tutorial, thank you. when you insert the triangle black mute, do you also lift the pedale up?

Where do I get new springs from?

you talk much without saying much, learn to speak more clearly and concisely, without stumbling in so many uhhmmms

Can you tell me if the steinhart disassembly is the same as the Steinway ?

Hello, is there any tool to do this job? I need to make a lot of bushing. Thank you

This was extremely helpful

A sneaky fart at 14:30 :)

i actually fixed this issue by just wiggling the piece connected to the pin side to side and it loosened up

45 ans de métier à plein temps et toujours pas capable de régler avec cet outil !!!!!!!!!

Once the hammering starts and the Chopin is in the background, it makes for a fairly horrific and fabulous sound/score to the video. Thank you the information! Very helpful.

Those elbows get REALLY brittle over time. I’ve got a set on order from you as in the process of tuning 3 more broke as we are replacing them all. Thanks for making them Available!!
