In episode 4, we see the soundboard get glued back into the piano.  First we have to finish prepping the board for installation.  This includes putting a finish on the underside as it would be much more difficult afterwards.

I also start playing with some fun video effects in this episode. 

In this episode we finish preparing the piano for the new soundboard. Once we recieve the new soundboard, we’ll do some final fitting. We will locate where the bridges need to go and get them glued on.

In episode 2, we finish making some templates and carefully remove the soundboard. Once the soundboard is removed, it is shipped to a soundboard maker to be duplicated. New bridge caps will also be installed and will then have to be planed, drilled and carved.

In this episode, I also learn to use the fast and slow motion video editing. I also try adding some music scoring in the background.

A Keep it in Tune miniseries on rebuilding a Baldwin grand piano. This series will cover everything from taking measurements to replacing the soundboard. In this episode we start taking measurements and take some notes as we get ready to pull the plate out.

Hopefully, my video editing is getting better, even with a few audio problems.

Allright! It’s here, the premier episode of Keep It In Tune. In this episode I explain the 3 main parts of the piano that affect the tuning and tuning stability of the piano once it is in your home. The steel strings, the tuning pins and pinblock as well as the soundboard. I also discuss the importance of keeping the piano tuned to concert pitch (A440). I eventually get to the answer to the question “How often should I have my piano tuned?” and will tell you what most piano manufactures recommend.

My first foray into video podcasting. A brief description of myself and what I do, as well as what I hope will be upcoming.
