Steinway O Bridge Notching






Today I notched and installed the pins on the new bridge caps. Notching is a demanding job as you are chiseling hard rock maple. Also accuracy is critical for clean string termination that will produce a clean sound on the completed piano. Notching both bridges was about a 3 1/2 hour job.. After the notching is completed, the kerfs are sealed with schellac before the pins are installed.
