Tips for Restoration of your Piano

Piano restoration is a tedious task. The mechanics of a piano is very complex and restoring it makes it difficult and time consuming. The process of refinishing the exterior wood, restoring interior, and tuning the keys, all together take hundreds of hours to accomplish. However, the grandeur of a piano is kept and even enhanced through piano restoration.

Some people treat their pianos as treasures. Each unit is uniquely different from the other. The wood materials, plates, strings, pins, soundboards and dampers are made one of a kind for each instrument. A lot of piano owners see pianos as investments, not just financially but also as an emotional investment for its sentimental value that is earned over the years.

This is why the meticulous task of Piano restoration is often times preferable than to buying a new one. The cost that is spent on piano restoration is oftentimes just a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new unit. The benefits of piano restoration include preserving the valuable parts of the piano. For example, the antiquity of the piano’s case may be unavailable in today’s market. Piano restoration provides the option to keep the original case as it is a common knowledge that the quality of materials used in most old pianos are far more superior to that of today

It is, however, important to note that pianos may not be worth restoring if the harp is cracked or the cabinetry is in really bad shape. It is also noteworthy that the most beneficial candidates for piano restorations are those that come from pre war era. These instruments are considered as heirlooms and are best kept instead of replaced.
Restoring the exterior wood to the original look of a pre-war era piano, however, is a very difficult task. It is important to use the perfect matching materials because many lacquers and paints may create imperfections such as unmatched patterns from the original wood.

Restoration of the interior of a piano improves sound quality for pianos that have lost proper tone from years of use and non-use. New strings and hammers are repaired and are replaced. The sound quality must be improved as this is the most valuable result of piano restoration.

Piano restoration also often requires the replacement of hammer shanks and flanges, whippens, damper heads, springs, screws, the damper lift rod, hammer rail cloth, screw punching, and hammer butt springs.

Regulation of the piano ensures the very best tone for your piano. The piano is repeatedly tuned by adding high tension to the point that concert pitch is achieved. This process also includes refining the damper regulation. Note that the new strings always stretch. it should be tuned and re-tuned during this initial phase of stretching because this will help the piano stay in tune longer once the piano restoration process is complete.

Which should i learn first the violin or the piano?

I don't really care about how hard it is to learn but go for it anyways.

I'm thinking of learning the piano first cause i want to replay some songs that like such as moonlight sonata movement 1.

I'm probably not going to learn these until i finish some stuff that i got to do such as school, working out for a sport team, Study hard, homework, etc etc. so in about 3 years of high school.

The way you put it, you'd sound like you'd be happier playing the piano first. I play both the piano and violin- started piano when I was 3, violin when I was 9, 10-ish. If you're completely new to music, I'd recommend starting off with piano. Get a good, solid knowledge of reading music and understanding key/time signatures and such. It's easier learning music on the piano because all you have to press are the keys below you to make noise. If you try starting with violin, not only do you have to worry about reading the notes, but placing your fingers in the right spots to get the right pitch, getting good posture, controlling your bow and learning to use your bow arm properly, and maintainance of your instrument, to name a few. Violins need more attending to than pianos. Pianos just need tune ups once a year, give or take a few months. Violins need string changings every 6-9 months (depending on how much you play, it can even be a year), the bow needs to be rosined, the strings need to have to rosin wiped off after you play, the bow will sometimes need rehairing, or the soundpost in the violin will need to be adjusted. Also, violin strings can be very "slippery" in pitch, depending on where you live. Weather can take huge tolls on your sound quality. Sometimes, my violin sounds rich, full, and throaty. It belts out amazing notes when I play. But on other days, it just falls flat. It sounds dry and hardly has a ring to it.

So it sounds like I'm kinda pro-piano and con-violin. I actually love the violin more than I do piano. I'm just saying, piano is a great way to get a start in learning music, but once you're up for starting violin, the fun starts there. :D
