Re: Piano Excursions
A friend of mine gave me a piano and time elapsed the tear down. I think he was expecting it to take longer than it did, and so selected a faster setting than need be.

This past Sunday I began to liberate the assembly of interest pictured below.crochambeau wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 4:37 pm A friend of mine gave me a piano and time elapsed the tear down. I think he was expecting it to take longer than it did, and so selected a faster setting than need be.
I had 30 minutes to do so and only a 12 oz hamer, slotted screwdriver and 10 inch flat bar to
accomplish my task. No pressure situation of it was free and it had to be dealt with by 9:00am
or it would be dealt with, and I was being told this at 7:45am.
Dumpster was 8 feet away though which made it a win all around.
I left my phone in the jacket pocket of the jacket I left in the car so no in-progress shots.
My mission was complete in 35 minutes after arrival on site.
So here is the plate, frame, soundboard, pinblock , strings & accoutrements from a Geo. P Bent Co. spinet piano.
54" x 36" fits easily in a generic SUV and it can be moved by one person.
