Finding a ring inside of a Grand Piano #piano

[PianoDoctor]

Hey, I’ve had a few comments asking why I didn’t use a graphite powder or spray so I thought I would clear things up:

I have a graphite powder which is what most piano Technicians use, but I didn’t have any with me that day. Since I was an hour away from home, I used what my old mentor taught me to use in tight situations… a good old pencil.

Interesting that you use a pencil for that. We use graphite in the form of a white powder on pianos at my work.

Watched this twice before I realized I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THIS GUY. So cool so see how you've turned your passion into a career. :)

It's nice to see a man who simply enjoys what he does

[nestorbpj]

A full video where you explain in more detail the solutions to these problems would be nice. Great job nevertheless!

I was at a concert over 30 years ago where a young, but already world famous Hungarian pianist was playing. Suddenly he got up and rushed off stage. Audience gasped. About a minute later he ran back on together with his friend an equally famous pianist. They proceeded to take the piano apart and fixed whatever the problem was in 5 minutes and the concert resumed. For those interested, they are Zoltán Kocsis and Dezső Ránki.

A friend of mine was called to tune a piano at a lady's house. As he was in one room working on the piano, he heard the woman in the next room saying 'Come over here." "Smell it." "Lick it." "Taste it." He went to see what was going on and the woman was trying to feed her cat.

I love that you are so passionate about your job and that you enjoy it so much. It's so nice to see people doing things they like!

I would love to see the home environment (i.e. your wonderful parents) that allowed you to be the self-sufficient gentleman that you are today 👍🏻🧿🧿❤️

FYI, modern pencils aren't graphite either! They're crystalline graphite derived from petrolium, and kaolin (clay). The softest pencils are 90% graphite but harder ones are as little as 20%. Ideally, just buy pure graphite powder for lubrication - no clay, no petrolium byproducts on your wood.

When i come across these kinds of videos after i take a break from practicing 40 hrs a day, it satisfies my heart and fills me with motivation to practice for 40 more hrs✨️

The inside of a piano looks really nice! It’s cool how you get to have a job you like (:

Baby Grand pianos are so beautiful. The sound resonance is amazing

[drklink]

I like how her concern was if it was fake or real and not who's it was

[anteaterborzoiTheBigBorzoi]

It's actually oddly satisfying watching him clean out and fix pianos.

[JLovesDisney]

I just got to tune my first grand and it was such a pleasure. Actually being able to sit the whole time while tuning, only took 90 minutes from start to finish.

[Skylardeck]

That's awesome! My church has a Yamaha baby grand from the 20's that is a really important part of it's history.

[lnsatiabie]

Ah yes. The good ol “it happens to be fake jewelry”

I have a piano from 1879, it hasn’t been tuned for YEARS. I was wondering, where can I set an appointment with you
