Steinway A I Tear Down




The project that I had hoped to be working on this week has been postponed a few weeks, so I decided to tear down my Steinway A spec piano. This piano was rebuilt about 25 years ago to standards that were lower than the standard that I keep. So I will probably replace the soundboard, bridge caps and pinblock. None of these are extremely bad, but the piano did not perform at it's potential. Also there is a lot of case repairs that need to be done. So measurements were taken, and the strings were removed, along with the tuning pins and plate. I will work on repairing the damaged case next.
