This piano was taken in part exchange for a Steinway 170. It has a fine tone. As it was owned by a professional pianist, we were surprised to find how varied the touch was, from about 40 to 60 grammes down-weight, making it difficult to play soft passages evenly.
MARKING THE HAMMERS: This is useful after refacing as it will show up if any hammers are refaced at an angle. It's vital that all strings are struck simultaneously, otherwise it's better not to reface at all as the tone will sound strange when one string is hit later than the others.

This is fascinating, such a wealth of knowledge.
Your videos are NEVER too long! They're always highly interesting and enjoyable! I only wish your shop was closer to my home here in northern California. (It would be a "bit of a commute" to visit your fine establishment. Sadly.)
Raymond thank you for your kind comments it will encourage my father to keep on keeping on making these videos. Greetings from Roberts Pianos Oxford, Evan Roberts
I think everyone watching this video appreciates you sharing your knowledge about preparing a re-conditioned piano for re-sale. You speak with honesty and demonstrate your level of expertise. It would make purchasing a secondhand grand piano feel less risky! I'd certainly feel more at ease. Better equipped to decide and make a choice for a good piano upgrade...I currently have a Yamaha GC1, less than 15yrs old. However, it has served me very well. I'll probably be ready to buy, and maybe go up a notch or two...soon as I sell my house! :D
Thank you Carol, we appreciate your kind comments towards my father's approach. He always encourages absolute honesty from the staff. We would be happy to serve you when you decide to buy your next piano feel free to contact +44 (01865) 240 634 Wishing you a prosperous 2019 Evan Roberts
Simply fascinating, Really nice video. The longer and in depth videos are excellent ! In this video its tone sounds similar to the U3H.
Thank you for the video Marcus!
You have inspired me so much in this field, hence I'm starting a 3 year course to hopefully become a full time piano technician! :)
Great video as usual!
That's very encouraging to hear Wombatwarrior. we are grateful to know that tuners are being trained all around. This is great news for the future of the industry. Best wishes on your studies! Evan Roberts
Very informative video the inner workings are quite fascinating.
Nice
This is an educational video. Than you. I like to hear your playing
Need an estimate for shipping to the US.
Knight quality is evident from the fully gold painted frame - often just the top half is 'gilded'
- This has a lovely warm tone, just the extreme bass a tad 'tubby'
- But on the hammers getting soft with playing: I was under the impression they toughened with use?
(Accepting initially the contact zone toughens - then as it wears to a broader contact = softer strike point?)
Hello, thank you for your helpful comments as always. I think the hammers on this one had been voiced to be mellower before we bought it. There is evidence of more toning than usual. Marcus
