WOW! Those are some kind of fancy veneers. Very nice.  Gosh, I love art-work 
like that. Were you using some kind of a wide  angle lens, or is this piano 
only about three feet long? Don't suppose you  have a photo of the unusual 
wippen/backcheck arrangement. Are you sure the  jacks weren't just adjusted a 
little to high?   ;-)
 



Terry,
 
When I go back to continue working on the piano, I'll have more detailed  
photos.  The 100cent pitch raise kind of ate up too much of my   allotted time, 
and I didn't want to get into action removal and potential  problems associated 
with that.  Next time out will be more  open-ended.  As it was, I was late 
for a dinner date with my new wife on my  wedding night!   BIG negative points 
on that one...:-(
 
I noticed an interesting thing in the tuning of the piano.   The wire strings 
were individually tied (and new).  I set  over-pull on my ETD to compensate 
for a A438 tuning.  When all was said and  done, the vast majority of the piano 
was at 440 +10 plus or minus a few  cents.  This begs the question of whether 
or not individually  tied wires are more stable than looped wires.  
 
The piano has a REALLY sweet sound.  Getting the action to take  advantage of 
that potential would be wonderful.
