Kawai GS40 Work Progresses






The pictures show the Kawai piano fully disassembled. The pinblock and plate have been removed, and the the action disassembled. The final picture shows some of the most evident water damage in the high treble area of the piano. The treble edge of the soundboard had begun to come loose from the liner, and needed to be reglues. The pinblock will be reglued when it is reinstalled in the piano. Other preparation work for reassembly include cleaning the plate and soundboard, removing the old hammers and damper felts, and reconditioning the damper back action assembly. Bass strings, tuning pins, hammers and stringing felt have been ordered and need to arrive before finishing work can proceed.
