Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanFebruary 13, 2014Leave a comment

It takes a good while, and there are almost always unforeseen set backs (especially when you are dealing with historic instruments) but the end result is worth it! (Yet to come…) Me:

Key Leveling – Yamaha P22

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanFebruary 5, 2014Leave a comment

I was notified that there was somewhat of a “smile” in the keyboard on this Yamaha P22 in 19M at the Provo Missionary Training Center. I was able to take care of it by using a 3′ piece of aluminum for leveling, and inserting appropriate sized center rail punchings underneath the keys to yield a…

Antique 1909 Erard grand piano from France

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanJanuary 17, 2014Leave a comment

This belongs to Marti and Ellis Nuttall (Provo). I’ve taken pictures because they are considering getting fully restored to original new condition. It’ll take about a year, and they’ll have to have it shipped to the Antique Piano Shop, but if they decide to move forward with the job I think it will be totally…

Keith Kopp’s Aural Tuning Class (& the Baldassin-Sanderson Temperament)

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanNovember 16, 2013Leave a comment

I’ve been taking an aural tuning class from Keith Kopp at BYU, and I have to say I am so thankful for Keith’s teaching abilities, as well as for having organized this live, in-person, practically one-on-one training (not to mention setting aside his valuable, personal weekend time to teach us! Keith truly has the heart…

Bob Bailey – 90 years of playing!

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanNovember 7, 2013Leave a comment

(Here’s a VIDEO of Bob Bailey playing after I tuned his Yamaha C7 today.  He said, “I love it!”) (and then my phone died at the very end of this video…that’s why it kind of cuts off.  But awesome playing, eh?  He does classical too, but is truly a natural at jazz…)  It says so…

Piano Hinge Lid Miracle!

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanOctober 31, 20133 Comments

On Tuesday I went to the Tanner building on BYU campus to work on a Kawai RX-3 (6 foot grand piano) and it was missing one of the pins to the lid hinge. I discovered this when I had a student assist me in lifting the lid so I could tighten the screws. It was…

Spinet Elbow Replacement

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanOctober 30, 2013Leave a comment

Spinet pianos were built between about 1930 (The beginning of the Great Depression) and the 1970s. They typically measure only about 36″ in height and were built with less expensive materials such as plastic, Formica and fiber board so that piano players during the post-Depression era could still enjoy music while remaining on a budget.…

String Splicing

Piano Tuning EducationBy DuncanOctober 22, 2013Leave a comment

Had quite a successful and fulfilling day today work-wise. Started out by doing a bass string splice on a 1978 Kimball console (buying a new string would have been twice the price). And it turned out sounding nice without any buzzing, even though the splice is in the speaking length of the string. Check it…
