To Pianomate, please reply to my offer to send a key to you even if the reply is they are worthless. The whole thing is just sitting and SWMBO is cracking up.

Regards Alan

hi there, PM me an address and I will send you down a key, I have looked close but cant decide, you will know better than me. Roughly speaking, what would be the value of such items? I have a full set of white and black keys. Regards Alan front part is 22mm wide, 50mm long back section is 14mm wide ...

Hi all, I have an almost complete set of keys/keyboard slide out section part from a victorian baby grand made by franz oaser. Most hammers are perfect but maybe 4 are broken, I dont know anything about these but someone told me that if the key has a slit halfway along it the front part has ivory on...

hi all, having a wee problem with my Roland FP-8 digital piano. The line outs work perfectly but the stereo monitors work perfect on the lower end (LHS)of the keyboard but are very weak almost non exsistent on the higer end (RHS). When the monitor fader is adjusted from min to max it crackles quite ...

Just to say thank you all for your input.

Hi all, how would one go about getting a shade/color/tint etc code that would allow a sprayer to match the color as close as to re spray a baby grand piano?. I have a sprayer well versed in spraying all manner of things from classic cars, classic boats both wooden and GRP, plus numerous other seriou...

Hi Pianomate, re reading my post I can see that it seems I was going to repair the veneer afterwards which is not the plan. I just typed it in a clumsy way.

It turns out its roaewood by the way.

hi all, i need to repair two small damaged parts of veneer on my frances oeser baby grand made in vienna around 130 years ago. It has cracked and lifted and has bloomed making a simple glue back impossible. The veneer is a light color but other than that I have no idea what type wood it is cut from....

Hi all, my elderly FP-8 roland digital piano is getting a bit past it. Some keys stopped playing and I managed to open and clean them up and sorted the problems, but now some are sounding at maximun volume which completely ruins anything you play. Its had a hard life and been gigged for years and ev...

One last thing, not knowing anything about piano construction norms...I have noticed that all the areas to be painted are veneer rather than real wood. The pianos side all the way round, and the lid both above and below are all veneers. Does that fact create any additional challanges or does it not ...

To Pianomate, luckily I never got round to sugarsoaping the piano........ so at least the grain will not have been raised.

Thanks again
