Steinway D Belly Work Completed

This past week all the belly work was completed. It is rewarding to finally put all the new pieces together to the final assembly. Several weeks ago the new pinblock was cut out and fitted to the plate. Before the final installation the holes to receive the tuning pins also had to be drilled. The old pin block is used as a pattern.

The completed soundboard is always a beautiful picture.

The completed soundboard with the bridges attached is then glued onto the piano rim.

After the clamps are removed, the board needs some trim pieces attached, sanded, and finish applied.

Finally, the plate is reinstalled, and strings installed.

AAHHHH. Finished
