Steinway Pianos Documentary Worth Seeing

Wow!
Some af my projects take a year! LOL
Sound interesting. Thanks.

-- Rick, Pa. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Funny you mention the Steinway video. I’m up here in Rochester, NY, and the Eastman Theater (Dryden Theater) played that same video to a packed house one year ago. I couldn’t get in despite arriving 40 mins early. I’d love to see it.

Thanks for remonding me. I saw it advertised a few days ago and would have missed it. It just finished on the PBS Houton station. Wonderful. Those guys are true masters. Think I’ll get off this computer and go feel some wood.

I just took apart a Royal Piano Upright….it took 6 hours just to dismantle.

You have to cut the strings while still together as there is so much tension you can be defingered or decapitated.

I am building a desk from the sides… and thinking of other ideas for the rest.

And it had a 400 lbs cast iron frame which held everything together. 3ft by 6ft. ranges from 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick in places.

The music holder and the top is in great shape. And all this in an upright would hate to have to do a grand.

The Piano was 1952 Cincinnati Ohio. Was in bad shape on the inside. Would have cost a mint to fix and I do not play.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

I tivo-ed it the other night. Very good documentary.

I looked for listings locally, (central PA) and haven’t found anything within the next 2 weeks. Shoot. I was looking forward to that one!

-- Finding satisfaction in creation

I saw parts of it, it looked really interesting.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for it. BTKS
