i’ve just started playing again after about 7 years. I believe we bought my Yamaha upright piano about.. 10years ago. I’ve noticed that starting from the keys around the middle C to the left side of the piano, the sound doesnt linger when you take your hands off the keys. probably needs to be tuned?

how often are you supposed to tune your piano? and how much is the price range in the denver area?

A very good video showing how to tie a knot in piano wire. It is a tutorial using soft iron wire for practice. For advance piano technicians, not for the DIY type of person how is just starting to learn how to tune their own piano.

This person is very knowledgeable. Good training video for advance piano tuner-tech.

Apart from the way this gentleman manipulates his tuning lever, he seems to know what he is doing.

Notice he is in a classroom where we piano tuners often work.

Notice also at the end of his playing, he noticed the out of tune note just by playing the piano normally. He has a good ear.

Piano-Bridge Notching Flugelbauer Style

Watch Dr. Flugel, (aka John Ross Wilson RPT) from Flugelbauer Piano Supply, notch a piano bridge to perfection–WARNING–don’t try this at home.

This is very generous from Mr. Wilson. He gives us permission to enter his shop.

Notice he does a first “rough” run with a powered sanding tool and finishes with a last run with the power tool but with more precision. Also at the end, he uses a wood chisel to finish by hand.

Building a piano bridge is a very delicate work. Keep in mind that Mr. Wilson is cutting out from rock solid maple wood. His cutting chisel must be perfectly sharpened.

Thanks Mr. Wilson.
