Thank you for you fascinating series of videos. Once again (from a naive acoustic piano enthusiast): what are they exactly doing the the factory that a new piano requires so much tedious work? I am an engineer by training and profession and I never faced this type of post production problems (unless the design was flawed or by design the product was to be fully setup at the customer site - I mean, a multimillion dollar MRI scanner). Please explain. 😊

Any one or a combination of several reasons: 1. Steinway and other high end pianos are essentially hand made. While the people that build them are *very* good, there may be small tolerances that are slightly off, especially with so many thousands of parts. 2. Small things can happen in shipping. 3. Many parts are made of wood and felt, which can be effected by humidity and temperature. 4. Much of the work Hyrum is doing is at a very high level. Average pianists may be happy with it "out of the box" but very accomplished pianists would notice such small adjustments. 5. Some things Hyrum is doing are for the preference of the pianist, not because they are wrong. Different pianists prefer slightly different shades of touch, tone, etc.. 6. Maybe some other reasons I haven't thought of. Hope this helps.

What glue is used to glue the wool to the wood of the dampers with Steinway brand?
