Thank you. Yes the new tuning pins are 7,5 x 56 so the second largest size. they all hold very strong (almost too strong :-)) and the wrestplank had no issues at all. So why not keep it?
@@sarbachpiano I suppose that the argument in favour of replacing the wrestplank is that it will inevitably need replacing in the not-so-distant future (perhaps in less than 20 years given that the pins are already at the second largest size) and that it would have been much easier to replace it while you were doing the other restoration work than later on. I guess that the argument against replacing them would be the cost of doing so versus the value that this would add to the current sale price. Similar cost/benefit considerations presumably apply to re-facing versus replacing the hammers.
@@sarbachpiano Also, I wasn't sure what you meant by the text in the video ("original sound"). Is this a recording of the piano before or after restoration? There's a lot of 'tubbiness' in the tenor>bass, e.g. the B flat and E flat from 5:12
Absolutely beautiful work, I do have a question if you dont mind. My 1914 Bluthner 190 aliquot grand has several cracks in the soundboard that dont affect the sound but Id like to repair, how would I go about acquiring the strips that you used? Thanks

Das ist einfach Handwerkskunst pur! Chapeau!
Stunning restauration, beautiful!
Thank you
What a fantastic video showing some of the detail of the amazing work you do. Really interesting. Thank you; I have learnt so much from your channel.
Great video, thanks. The tuning pins seem to be rather large though. Why did you decide not to replace the wrest plank?
