Next on the Piano Project, After sliding the action out of the piano I unscrewed the top of the action and took it off the key frame. The keys pull right off. Underneath are the felt punchings, which all needed to be replaced. You will notice on the floor to the left and below the Key frame I'm working on, is the action sitting on the floor, ( I failed to get a photo of taking the two apart)
What the Key frame looked like after it was cleaned and had new paper and felt punchings
Note: the Back rail cloth ( the grey felt along the back side of the key frame) will have to be replaced. In order to do that I will have to make some hide glue,
Which I will tell you all about in the next post.
