Steinway A 280251

I have recently begun a new project. This will be a total restoration. The first step is to remove all case parts, and then the strings, and finally the soundboard, bridges and pinblock. Then the real work begins.

Case parts are removed, measurements are taken and recorded.

Strings removed

Cast iron plate removed with winch.

Sounding Board removed. It literally has to be broken out of the piano. It will be reconstructed to use as a pattern for the new board.

Bridges are removed from sounding board. The bridges will be recapped, using the original bridge bodies.

Pinblock removed. The original is glued and doweled into the case. Not an easy job to remove.
