The Steinway O project is completed and is being picked up by it's owner tomorrow. The final step in the process was to put glue on the suspension dowels, and to reinstall the plate for the final time. All the perimeter bolts and plate screws were then carefully installed being careful not to mar the finish. A final check and touch up of any flaking paint where the screws were installed completed the plate installation. The final task was to reinstall the music desk slides that were removed to allow clearance for the plate to pass when removed. The owner will do the string installation and action work.
This has been a wonderful experience; I'm certainly impressed with the attention to detail and the sharing of your vast knowledge.
ReplyDeleteWhy, after all this work, would someone choose to turn over the repinning and action work to themselves? (I suppose it could be that the owner is a tech in her/his own right.)
