I've been a restorer of musical instruments for the last 20 years (I was a Shipwright before I retired) including toy ones. So I was extremely interested in what you were doing. I'm also restoring a toy piano but unfortunately in a much worse condition than the one your working on. Mine needs some of the tone bars replacing as they've rusted through and been lost. But I can fix it. I also need to make a new cabinet for it but (if I'm careful how I take it apart) I will use the original parts as templates. Thank you for some very useful tips.
@@fnersch3367 depends on how much of the cabinet needs replacing or restoring but any timber like ply which is quite cheap or a soft wood such as pine, or a harder wood such as beech. Most can be got from a local timber merchant or if your into recycling, then old wood from the local tip should do. Make sure to avoid mdf and chipboard. If any tone bars are missing, you will have to replace them with new ones but getting them to the right pitch might be a problem but there are articles about that on RUclips to help. Steel brass, or Iron. you should be able to get from a hardware store or metal dealer (loads on ebay} Anything else I can help you with
That was brilliant, however you say you use 'direct sunlight' rather than LED strips, that's fine if you live in a country that has sunshine, here in England if they see the sun shining they think it's a UFO.
What is this “sunlight“ and where do you get it? I asked the professionals in the hardware store, but they also never heard about that. Greetings from Hamburg, germany.
*Lots of things are well done, but the varnishing job is lousy. I wonder why did you not sand all the wood? You could at least have dyed first the foil and after that the varnish instead of putting layers and layers of varnish on it. Sorry, but it was a waste of time to watch this video.*
That was strangely poetic. There was a real beauty and simple, meditative quality to this restoration. Your playing the piano at the end especially moved me. You’re so lovely and I thank you for this little gift.
Wow! What a great restoration! Congratulations on doing this with just simple hand tools. I know you did this a while ago but I’m just seeing it today, May 10, 2023. Great work!
Thomas Johnson is antique & vintage restoration master that I would recommend watching. He has several technical videos that would have saved you time on color matching. You did the owners proud.
The children who receive this toy will also forever have the joy of this video. Caution: Boys will want to take it apart like you did ... to see all that work. And - it is nice that you answer all who comment - at least the ones in English lol.
Haha and I will be like 'NO!! Please treat it nicely and gently..' Thanks, you actually went to see the comments.. haha there's one I couldnt reply though.. someone pls help

This is why I watch restoration videos. I admire your patience. I am 72, I had a piano similar to this one. My Son had one as well. Thanks for using your skill in such a fantastic way.
According to color matching it is reccomanded to stain the wood before the varnish. Stained varnish is better used if you want a quick job on a surface not coloured. Better to use some aniline stain (water or alcohol based) on the new parts of wood. Color must be matched with wet surfaces (use some diluent on older parts) to get a rasonable approximation of final result when applied trasparent varnish. If you use filler they are better slightly darker than background than lighter coloured, if you have doubt of being able to match darker blends better
Beautiful job. If you want a smoother finish you can use wet or dry sandpaper 800 grit . Sand till smooth and then use a paste wax over that. It will give a lacquer like finish. Enjoyed watching your video.
I just picked one these up, just like this one. I love it, but it definitely needs a lot of work to save it, like this one. Definitely gave me direction and some ideas. THANK YOU
Very pretty. I had a toy piano very similar when i was little. Actually i think it is still in my parent's attic. I may go and get it, clean it up and give it to my granddaughters. Thank you for the memory and nice work.
Thanks! Ya please do, I always wish to have some special item passed down from my grandparents, it will have so much story and memories to be remembered
Hello, great work! 👍👏 What I liked most was that you restored and repaired the wood! Most of them simply replace the wood and thus destroy the patina. These things contain life and tell a long story! Stay healthy and keep it up! Michael
*Lots of things are well done, but the varnishing job is lousy. I wonder why did you not sand all the wood? You could at least have dyed first the foil and after that the varnish instead of putting layers and layers of varnish on it. Sorry, but it was a waste of time to watch this video.*
Hello. I might sound like too late (but I just stumbled upon your video). First, let me tell how I was so moved by this attempt to restore "memories", since I can't think of a better way to mend the wounds time inflicts upon everything. Such a gentle and humble initiative ! Congrats. Now, for the technical parts, I might give you some ideas. I'm what we call in french an "ébéniste", that is "cabinet maker", more or less, and I had to perform some tricky restorations, on very old furnitures. These are sometimes very difficult problems because you can't ever get the same color between a new piece and an oxydised wood (because of UV, wheather etc…). However, there are some techniques to "mitigate" the discrepancies. For instance, one of them consist in avoiding colored varnish (at least in the beginning), and try to match color with several light coats of stain (in your case, I would try and use something we call "brou de noix", a kind of hazelnut decoction, water based, and non-toxic. Then, once you have achieved a more or less uniform color, apply some shellac to stabilize what you have reached. Be aware that all water-based solution will raise the grain of the wood, you might want to lightly sand (and carefully vacuum !) between coats. After that, you can use various brown crayons or markers, to do some localized touches, and only then harmonize everything with a lightly colored wax for example. Other than that, the only recipe, is patience, patience and patience ! But I can see you have plenty ;-) Have a look at Thomas Johnson's videos, if you don't know his work. It's a wonderful source of inspiration : ruclips.net/channel/UCd8v3SbzGP9_wuSOr_xk_eA. Take care, and keep the good work. Thank you very much for these very nice 30 minutes of delicate work.
Thanks Jean! Your comment made my day, such a motivation for me to keep learning and doing! Thanks for the professional and informative suggestion, will definitely try that in the next project. A fun fact is, I got to know Thomas Johnson through the comments, since many of you suggested his channel for me 😆 will check it out too! Once again, thanks! 😊
I think I would have got some other wood, the same thickness, and taken the piano apart. Then trace around the existing pieces on to the new wood, and remake it that way. You have a lot more patience than I have, and your way is probably saving more of the original instrument.
Thanks! Since this is a restoration work, so i can't replace just everything, that would be called as remake and lost all the histories.. but of course you could do so to make the piano more durable and nicer the way you wanted to.. There's no right or wrong from the art perspective 😊 as long as you do with passion and love from heart
*Lots of things are well done, but the varnishing job is lousy. I wonder why did you not sand all the wood? You could at least have dyed first the foil and after that the varnish instead of putting layers and layers of varnish on it. Sorry, but it was a waste of time to watch this video.*
@@morswick777 But yet the little piano, is restored for many more years of existence... Its only real value, is sentimental, so lighten up, and don't be such a turd!
Sweet babies, you redid plies in plywood by hand?! That's a level of dedication I didn't think as possible. My only suggestions for the varnishing (as a novice who loves watching woodworking videos) would be 1. Try starting with a darker wood, so you don't have to apply as much varnish, or 2. Use a darker stain on the light wood so it catches up to the rest of the color faster. For example, if the body of the piece you're trying to match is medium-brown, try using a light coat of dark brown on the light wood so that the light wood & dark color mix to a medium-brown color. Then add the same varnish as the rest of the piece so that it has the same overall look. Again, I have no experience with woodworking, but I have some idea of color theory. Hope it helps!
I was having a deep dilemma on the plywood restoration as well. Since my friend requested to keep everything as much as possible, so ya, that's the way I could thought of. Your suggestion is making total sense, and I learnt from this experience as well. Hopefully will have improvement on the future projects. Thanks very much!!
Awesome restoration. You have a lot of talent and patience as I think that would’ve taken at least two weeks to finish. I hope the owner was pleased with it. Perfect scenery at the end, Malaysia looks beautiful. Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺
VERY well done! Most of the restorers on here are males. So refreshing to see lady prove that it's not just a mans world, when it comes to restoration. Keep up the good work.
Good work. for the woodparts, i sugest a tutorial like others in the comments, or watch videos of other restaurators, like Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration, or Dashner Design & Restoration.

The secret to a good stain or paint finish is to sand the previous coat before repainting, without doing it you make the brush 'plough lines' deeper every coat. Otherwise very well done!
Just thank you ! Your restoration shows me how I was ridiculous when I was young to destroy a such piano for child. Seeing you make me regrets this act. You did this restoration with love, there is no price for this. Congratulations.
