Piano Dust

Does the inside of your piano look like this?!  Mine did until my technician came dusted it when he was resurfacing the hammers.  The hammers are on the bottom in the picture; you can see where it hits the strings and has made deep indentations into the felt of the hammers. 

Here he is removing a hammer so he can fix it.  He had to use a special type of screwdriver to catch the screw so it wouldn't fall into the piano and be lost.









He then shaved all the hammers to make the piano sound better and so that the hammers didn't stick into the strings.
Here you can see the tool he used to shave the hammers.  It looks like a big metal file.  Don't use it on your fingernails though or you won't have any left!

He did a great job and now the piano is ready to go into some blessed piano students home.  It is for sale for $600.
