Steinway Up 20375 Cast Iron Back

I have never seen a piano with a cast iron back. The plate and back are one piece which you can see from the photos of the bottom. I am wondering why this was tried. It seems like an incredibly difficult way to manufacture a piano.

Steinway D 149495 Action work

Work is progressing steadily in setting up the new keys and action parts. This work is quite time consuming and does not make a lot of big physical changes.

The new keyset is sort of like a blank sheet of paper, and a lot of trim pieces need to be added to accommodate the action frame.

The new damper back action has also been manufactured and installed in the action cavity along with the damper heads. I am now in the process of installing the Stanwood Precision Touch Design. Pictures of that process will follow.
