Thanks for the tip on Maguire's, got both the detailer and wax, Just to point out you said theC# and F# Major scales contain no natural notes. Not true for F# Major as B natural is the 4th step, F natural is in fact E#. so there are 6 sharps in F# Major and 7 in C# Major. Good example is Book 1 and 1148 Preludes & Fugues 1 of J .S. Bach and Book 2

Great videos - thank you. Regarding cleaning the case, my mahogany Steinway has lost its luster. You mentioned the McGuire's wax product (similar black bottle) in another video. Would you recommend using that at all on the case (or another product) to bring back some luster to the finish?
If it was high gloss to begin with you can connect with a refinisher to buff it out. Best to have someone who works on piano finishes check it out to be sure. The shine effect of the quick wax is very subtle and won't get out extensive scratching or dulling.
The best wiping cloth is a thick Stafford white t-shirt cut into a manageable wiping size. Microfiber cloth is synthetic and will leave micro scratches. 100% cotton is best. That’s 50 years of detailing experience talking to ya.
Good point, I'll have to show that in another video. Sometimes you do something so many times you forget what's difficult the first few times you do it. If the pins in the fallboard are screwed out to the right length (long enough to insert all the way into the brass hole but not stick out past it), just do everything in reverse of what I did and it should work out well. Just don't lift the fallboard too high on one side while you put the cheek block back on. Set the fallboard at the very edge of the sharps and that helps it all work out.
@@saltlakepianoservice I asked this same question on a forum for piano technicians and no one seemed to know. This is a little bit of load off my mind to get the answer.
The first 40 seconds was the most uncomfortable part of my week. Thanks.

Can you make a video showing how to clean the inside of a piano, what tools are needed, & where can we buy the tools?

I was waiting for you to show the hard part: how to get the fallboard back in without the end blocks falling off or scratching something.
