Hi Folks,<br>
I'm about to embark on an 1920's era upright partial rebuild. Restring,
New Hammers, Jack Springs, Butt Felts, Bridle Straps,Dampers. I'm looking
for any advice on order of tasks, also, how many of you remove the keybed
and string the piano on its back? <br>
Do you use something to raise the piano up to a comfortable height for
stringing? I have a workbench that will hold 1,000 lbs ,also have tilter.
I've committed Reblitz to memory and also have most of the Spurlock
pamphlets. Also, has anyone tried Arlidge strings?<br>
Soundboard ,ribs,and bridges are good , keys don't need rebushing
yet. <br>
Thanks,<br>
