It is ironic, but doubtless the lifetime of the first owner is long over.

That's an interesting take on the "tension-resonator" idea, Bob!

I have used that drilled and slotted pressed angle iron for all sorts of uses but never thought of it on a piano. What make is the piano that has been so lovingly improved? Please tell me it isn't one of the top tier ones.

Is this to avoid a belly job?

Recently I was asked to tune a piano for an elderly patron of the local orchestra. She asked me if I got all the supplies for my hobby from Michael's craft store. Sure, those hammers are right beside the nice bird house kits.

You should have told her how much you earn in a year with your little hobby. I'm glad Michael's is carrying Steinway parts now, whew that'll make life easier.
