I've been doing a lot of research into these things lately since i'm considering a crazy, semi-late career change from architecture into this wonderful craft and i can't helpt but comment that your set up is the smartest i've seen so far - all these adjustable benches and a custom jig for everything. You're exactly the kind of pro i'd like to learn from - sadly there's a very large ocean between us ;) thank you for sharing the video, i found it super inspiring - Greetings from austria :)

@OE1FEU 2 года назад

In Austria you should pay Gert Hecher in Vienna a visit. His collection of perfectly restored 19th century concert grands is spectacular and unique.

@billboring7061 Год назад

how you win money with this?

@PASHKULI 11 месяцев назад

@@marvinsilverman4394 Old and current piano maintenance, tuning… but you need the proper tools first, then finding clients either online or by word of mouth. IT is not easy at all as you also have to visit the clients houses\halls where the pianos are, which requires time management.

I cannot believe the amount of expertise and patience needed to restore a grand piano, Great Vid!

@AlsInd 4 месяца назад

it is always a pleasure to watch a master at work. i am restoring a 1920 sohmer baby grand i rescued. from my understanding it is an exact copy of the steinway. i used to play a concert steinway in college and in my poor and old age, i hope to restore this baby to play as sweet as that piano. lots of time and money for parts. maybe i will finish it before i die 🙂

I agree with everyone here, we all just witnessed a true craftsman at work obviously loving the work he does. Such people are rare and to be honest whatever he’s paid it ain’t enough!!

@davidt8438 11 месяцев назад

I want to applaud at the end. Not for his playing but for his craftsmanship in all forms of repair/restoration work. I’m a woodworker and can see his skills at work and his movements to me were like a ballerina.

@brentonwhitten8131 9 месяцев назад

Would you rather have a mint condition perfectly restored 1965 aston martin DB5 or a brand new Nissan Versa. The piano he is working on starts at 30 grand in somewhatvdecent condition, by the time he was done with it its probably going to sell between 50 and 80 grand.

Mr. Torn, wow. I don't have a piano and watched this ENTIRE video and this was an in-depth repair that was border-line insane. I know jobs would be priced "as-reviewed" but this is about the max of a hard-core restoration. I'm just dying to know what the range of this repair a customer would expect. Also, how many weeks did it take to complete this one job? Without a doubt, you are a Master Technician.

Curious as to why you shimmed the soundboard rather than replace with new? Cost? I think with all the effort, I'd rather have an all new soundboard with proper crown.

@mehranofff 2 года назад

this is a great video, I enjoyed watching it, thank you so much I just have a question at around minute 5 when you measure the downbearing, are you trying to match the downbearing with the original db before you remove strings? or is it a general rule for db you are following? because i did not see you measure db before you remive strings

@TornPiano 2 года назад

I check and correct down bearing before setting the strings and then after just to make sure it works correctly.

When preparing the sound board for filling the cracks, what did you do with those vertical wire-through screws? I suppose, this was for re-gluing the bars to the board?

The cost of piano repairs varies based on the extent of work required and the desired level of restoration. Similarly, new pianos come in a range of prices, with some being affordable and others from reputable brands being more expensive.

What about shipping? Where do YOU live? Could I ship it to you? Do you want to buy it? You seem well versed.
