Hi all! I have created a web site, "Player Piano Repairs", to
track the progress of my 1924 Steck Duo-Art grand piano rebuild:

https://player.crystel.com 

This is a PHP-based open-source forum built so that people can see the
articles, pictures, and thoughts I have been having as I go through
getting my Dad's piano running again. He and I did this 50 years ago
and I remember enough that I can sort of do it again. :-)

So far things are going well -- I can mix hide glue properly, have
managed to fix the pneumatics on the Duo Art expression box and am now
chewing on the reversing and repeat bellows. It's fun and hopefully
will help someone else in the future.

Feel free to stop by, create an account if you wish, and leave a
comment. No bots, no jerks, no ads!

PS: I don't use Facebook. I do not like their privacy and user rights
stances, and to be honest I have seen far too much info disappear
into the ether when companies change policies or are bought by other
entities. I'd rather have my creations and writings on my own hosted
system, so here we are. Enjoy!
