Steinway « O » New York 1910 (to be restored)
Integrating revarnished and refelted damper heads.
Same.
Painstaking job, when not compromising...
Wedges and tiny jacks to restore the soundboard crown (minimum 3 months).
While drying, this tiny crack across the soundboard will open between two to four mms.
Most of the time, the rib pops off after the soundboard cracked. First step, run a wire through it.
Second step, protecting the rib, in this case with metal picture frame.
Third step, apply a little bit of glue in between.
