What a splendid Journey Into the Mechanical this has been. I shall miss the anticipation of the next stage I have had each week. Thank you Nate, most enjoyable.
Thanks for being here along the way! Two more episodes in this series to go.
I love how the stack on the bench plays the same tune as the piano music in the background! Bravo Nate, I just can’t imagine the hours and hours it must have taken to produce these exceptional videos. Thank you for doing this and for making it so much fun to watch!
Hey! It's been empowering and so encouraging knowing you find these videos worthwhile! Two more episodes left.
This series has been very entertaining to watch!
I'm really glad to hear that. It's all been a passion project for sure.
A piano technician friend of mine suggested your channel last Monday. Today has been one week, and I've watched Episodes 1-16 and read all of the comments for each video. I'll echo a number of comments already made: your videos are educational and entertaining. Now I'll need to re-watch all of your videos to find the blue mouse!
Welcome, Johnathan! That's very encouraging, thank you.
Hint about the blue mouse: Sometimes, between episodes, it changes color.
Hey Nate!
It's always fun to watch you. It's very informative and entertaining. Even if it sometimes hurts me when some pianola parts or rolls fall victim to a joke.🙈
I just got my pianola back after 2 years of repairs. So it's all the nicer to see how much work is behind it in your videos. Thank you and keep it up.
Greetings from Warstein in Germany. Steffen and Johannes 😊
Hello! Congratulations on getting your instrument back! I hope you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching :)
Incredible job, Nate! So fun to watch and learn from these videos. The humor certainly makes it fun too!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it.
I am sending out your videos to all my friends and saying a prayer that the YT gods shine their algo upon you!
Hey, thanks for spreading the word!
And now, for act III of our on-going saga!
Yes, it's in the works! Thanks Greg.
ooh a bit of zip tie!! I normally mash a match stick in the hole (the non fiery end)
A nice upgrade for the doors
Another very entertaining video 😘👌
Plastics make it plausible!
Thanks for tagging along. :)
@@nateoutsidethevacuum 👍👍
Thanks for another fun episode!
Thank you for being here through and through!
Can't wait to see what you do next!
Stay tuned :) If you want.
I can’t wait to hear it! What a great series, Nate. I’ve loved being along for this amazing process.
Hi Ellyn! Thank you for sticking with me. And thanks to you and L for the you know what!
Absolutely fantastic, keep up the great work sir!
Thank you for your continued support!
I am seriously disappointed that you bailed on the bench testing video..... just kidding! Loved what you delivered. Like many others I was waiting to hear it play, but I’m assuming one of your next videos will be to show it playing untuned and then impress us with your tuning skills and then show us the difference. Thanks Nate for your incredible talent and wit,
Hi Shawn! My tuning skills would leave an impression alright - I'll leave that art of the job up to Steve!
A proper "before and after" is in the works.
Noooo! This cannot be the end!
Not quite! Two more episodes to go, I think.
Glad you played The Midnight Fire Alarm!
It's a real barn burner!
Another fun and informative episode!
Thank you for joining in!
That intro caught me off guard
Gotta switch things up here and there. :)
Leaving us with a cliff hanger! Man that sure does look good. I love all the little touches you added. Like the double action doors. Mine doesn’t have them and I think I will build something similar to what you added.
Does this have a bench? I find players are often missing a bench. I would love to see you build one!
The Packard player my grandparents had when I was a kid had double action doors. Now I'm hooked.
You're on to it with the bench! Stay tuned...
Bravo! Beautiful work, Nate!
Thank you, Mike! It's a relief to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Midnight Fire alarm" punchtape inserted
Your piano was on fire🔥🔥🔥🔥lmao
It was a fun bit to do!
Nice that you included the sliding door mechanism. I thought it was going to involve a cable and pulleys.
When I first saw how they worked I was surprised by the simplicity.
I also think most people don’t realize the hours of editing required to make a video, let alone a series, like these while also trying to actually restore pianos.
Thank you for the recognition. I definitely bit off more than I could chew on this one. But how will I grow without a good challenge?
Now for a coin piano...
The Coinola in my "profile picture" is on the Cue for next Winter!
Nice tribute to Thomas Johnson ;-)
Thank you! I've learned so much from him and his videos over the years.
Great work on these videos! It has been super motivating to get going on my own project and helpful to watch another set of hands do the work. Also, how were you supplying vacuum for bench testing?
I hope you get to enjoy your project!
I use an electric vacuum motor for testing.
OHH you're killing me. I wanted to hear it so bad.
I cringed when you started to dump the paper spreads into the keys.
You should also consider getting into band organ repairs. Many of the last guys who do this are retiring.
I'm sure I'll have my hands in a band organ eventually!
Hi Nate! Where to you source your silicone sheeting? I’m about to refurb an Otto Higel Metalnola player and would like to see about using some of this material

No pun intended on all of those poor poor test rolls..
I promise no *good* rolls were harmed for the making of this video!
7:49 tears were shred.
8:25 the midnight fire alarm finally went off!
