Instructions for piano dismantle

PS if it’s an upright piano, open the top lid and the front panel to take photos near hammers, mechanic and the strings. Under the keyboard, please take off the lower panel. It is held in place with only one spring. Take pictures of the strings, bridges and the soundboard. Just examine the inside of your piano and you will soon discover how to dismantle it. You wont need any tools.

Here is a (French) video from my PIANO TUNING TUTORIAL with which I teach piano tuning. You will have more instructions than necessary to take your photos but you will understand how the piano is built.

Don’t forget to remove the lower panel under the keyboard and take photos:

PS note that this visual assessment from photos does not replace an “on site” assessment, that is to say in real. Therefore, it is not accompanied by any guarantee apart from my willingness to help you. You can also make a video with your Smartphone playing a chromatic scale from the highest note to the lowest and send this recording to me for a more accurate appraisal.
