This gentleman knows his business, listen to the piano, it is great. Job well done. I'm glad you are posting videos of quality concert work.

Your videos are amazingly detailed and very helpful. Thank You

Extremely helpful

Güzel çalışma. Tebrik ederim 👏

Just a quick recommendation: why not swap the ground up key caps with straight ABS plastic? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Yamaha key caps (including the ivorite ones) are made primarily of ABS plastic. You can buy ABS pellets or if that’s hard to obtain, even 3d printing filament. Definitely much cheaper and easier than grinding up piano keys.

I need to perform this on an old Chickering grand at my church. Your channel is such a gem. Here's hoping you get picked up by the algorithm.

No wonder Elton John's piano accompaniment in the most played Bennie and the Jets recording (where someone whistles out loud in the audience) abounds with such brilliance. Steinway model D's are simply unparalleled. Comparatively,  any Yamaha's attempt falls "way" short; almost reminiscent of a calliope....

Thank You. I have voicing problems with my 10 year old Lyrica 46" upright. They are dull sounding from A3 and up but the bass is good. I need a brighter tone and more volume C4 and up. Hopefully this will work. Does the action have to come out on my upright?

Very nice! Thank you for working with my voicing needle! Best regards!

How do you know when to needle right near the crown vs. when to needle in the 10:30 or 1:30 o'clock areas that you pointed out?

Fascinating.  I played a worn out hard-hammer upright for years.  it was so bad that I "voiced" it with a dental pick and broke the tip!  Three weeks ago, I bought a 2000 M&H BB.  It needs tuning and voicing so an expert Nashville tech will soon visit to tame the monster.  I will not attempt to "improve" the BB on my own!

I agree with the last reply.

Do all action work first.
Level the strings etc. Seat the strings. No bends at bridge pins.
re crown hammers.

Great video! I enjoyed it immensely. What was the song you were playing at 16:23? I dont recognize it, and its amazingly pretty.

Great work! Congrats.
I needled a strident Hammer too agresively, incluso g the strike point (i was a bit dare, I know). Now it is muddy… (my bad).
Can I recover it by dropping B-72 diluted with acetone directly into the strike or should I juice only the shoulder instead?

Voodo voicing.

Nice video. Where do you get this Yamaha keytops.

I tried that acetone mixture, but all it ever did was to soften the sound. Maybe the key top was not good material. Idk. I ended up rashaping my hammers heads and that did the job

Other than Steinway what do you use for voicing ? Can you list in the video what you used ?

What do you mean by the bass strings "speaking upward" after the tuning? Thanks!

Hi, I recently bought a new Kawai Nd 21 Upright. I am just curious to know whether I need to get the voicing done or it is already been done when they are made in the factory. Please Guide
