I started a semi-apprenticeship in rebuilding with Tim Upton two weeks ago. Right now I am working on a grand action. Started by sanding and reshaping hammers and then voiced them up a bit to bring some power back to the piano. It has a beautiful finish now, it is a 1927 Howard Grand make by Baldwin grand. We will move on to more regulation this week. I am about to watch the 37 steps to regulation from the Yamaha technician the Jack gave me yesterday. I will post some pics of the hammers later. We also added a new green hammer rail felt.
