Weekly Update - Week Commencing 19th May

Attention was focused this week on completion of our client's Challen Baby Grand. The remainder of the repolishing was carried out, and the piano has now been re-assembled in our workshop, as seen in the photo. This piano was unusual for us, because the client had requested a very dark colour for the new finish on their piano. The results are certainly pleasing though, and the whole piano has been bought back to life.

The piano was then ready for regulation - the fine adjustment of the action to ensure that the touch of the piano is uniform and responsive from the first note to the last. The piano is receiving a tuning as I type, and although further tunings will be necessary following the re-stringing of the piano, the restoration is now all but complete.

Other work this week included further restoration to our John Broadwood upright. The keys were cleaned and buffed, and along with the action they are now ready to be returned to the piano. The substantial jobs left to do are the polishing of the case and regulation of the action. The small Zender piano has now received a tuning, and one of our other small John Broadwood uprights is now available to view and play in the shop.
