52yo auto mechanic here with a vintage project ahead of me. I have never done this work before. I own a very old Conway Boston Player piano that has been well used and needs restoration the player quit working over 40 years ago. But the piano despite its age still holds a tune quite well. However the strings pins and other metal parts are very rusty and the highest base string is broken. What if Any literature would you recommend for someone like myself to read to learn how to properly re-string and restore this? Maybe this could be a new line of work for me.
you can buy 3.5 tuning pins if 4's are tight. Pianotek has them called lowtorque.
Awesome video. So helpful for new people looking to learn how to do this.
Great Video! Really enjoying these! Very well done!
i like the design of that tuning wrench 43:04

Can I use a propane weed burning torch instead of a high temp electric heat gun to defrost my ice maker?
Why aren't you using straight flute reamers?
