Richard, Your Blüthner project sounds like a success. The piano is very musical, and retains that oldish feel that so easily disappears when you do severe restoration. Very agreeable also is the sound that comes out when the pianist asks for volume. Too often, in old pianos, you would get or harsh or confuse sound. Nothing like that here, but only flavor magic. Best regards.

Been so busy I haven't been able to think... but we took the Bluther in use again even tho I a STILL not finished with the case work. So I decided to do a quick little sound-byte recording for anyone interested in how this thing will end up sounding. This is just a short 2 minute clip from the opening of Chopins Etude Op. 10 no. 3. Its a simple mp3 stereo recorder just placed at the bent side instrument, open top... no attempt at making a wonderful sound recording yet. I'll get to that when I finnally finish the project. In anycase for curious minds... http://www.pianostemmer.no/music/Chopin.mp3 Cheers RicB
