Pianoworks The Series - Part 2

Corrections: Special thanks to NELSONTT2001 for this information: ""They all usually have lacquer in them now". Nope, not true. Abel, Renner, Imadegawa, Ronsen and Yamaha (this covers most major manufacturers of hammers) all come out of the box with *no* lacquer in them. New York Steinway is the only company that consistently uses lacquer. A few other companies will use a tiny bit of lacquer in the high treble or low bass, but only if it's needed to brighten up a particular piano a bit.
Part 2. If you wish to donate money please go to www.pctom.com/youtube/donations.htm We take an intimate look at piano's mechanism, and how they affect playing throughout life of your piano. We talk about individual parts, and then take the piano's keyboard out for your viewing pleasure.
