The piano has woodwork or borer damage to the case, clicky keys, worn hammers etc etc.

Beginner piano. Fixing an old piano. Cheap piano. Rescuing a piano. Worth fixing.

I would really like to see you address the Balance Rail punchings and then the Front Rail punchings and how you measure the associated distances, choose the correct thickness of the various paper punchings and set each one correctly throughout. I have a 1916 upright that I just restrung and replaced the hammers. But now I have to regulate the rest of the piano and getting the balance rail and the front rail "just SO" is very important for key dip. This seems a very long and complicated process involving a great deal of measuring in thousands of an inch across the complete key bed. Id love to see how its done.

The dampers are starting to lift off the strings because you have the piano sitting on a dolly. Put it on the floor and I believe the dampers will work properly.

You were right!! Completely forgot that happens on some Pianos 🙄 In my defence, there were some notes that were open when it was on the floor when it first arrived. All working great now 😊👍

Really enjoying these piano restoration videos! I think you should make it a series.

Would love to, I want to see how these initial videos go. First vid did really we'll, if I get 1000 subs then I can get monatized. It's time consuming making and editing the videos so if I can get a few $$ then I will continue! Thanks Andy

Are wood borers the same as termites?

[@thesesh5629]

Let’s say someone who’s an engineer who doesn’t have music experience, would they be able to do this on a similar piano? Also what tools / equipment would be needed ?

Hi from Argentina! A friend of mine is giving me an upright Mason & Hamilton as a gift. The action is Wessell Nickel and Gross. It is in real bad shape (almost disassembled), but would you recommend restoring it?

Petrof 1950!

If I may suggest to you, that it is generally a very dangerous thing to bring a “cutting edge” towards your hand in case of slippage!
