This rebuild is done. The piano is now being shipped away to have the cabinet refinished, and detailed. I'll make an in-home visit next week to tune it and make sure everything is working fine and the customer is happy.
It turned out pretty good. I'm very happy with it. Because of the short turn-around, the strings will continue to stretch over the next few weeks, so it's important to keep it tuned. Unfortunately, this piano is going very far away, too far for me to make it a regular tuning. But I know another technician that will take good care of it.
As for me.... no time to rest. The next project is in the shop, and ready for a complete restoration. And it's going to be fun one, too. I haven't decided if I'm going to post pictures. But if I do... it will be right here.
So, here it is playing alittle Doobie Brothers:
