Caring For The Fortepiano
Provides information useful to technicians faced with a fortepiano.
What's in the episode ?
Introduction to fortepiano. Technical aspects of fortepiano care - Keys need attention, and in so doing, removing the keyboard demands caution. If and when shanks break, there are good and better ways to fix them. Voicing is different for a leather hammer, not necessarily as difficult as that for a felt hammer. Leather dampers need surprisingly simple remedies. Extreme dryness does more than crack the soundboard, and there are details to be examined to resuscitate a poorly kept instrument. And more...

“I had fortepiano by Paul McNulty many years and I am very much happy with it and everyone else is. I recommended McNulty instrument to the Amsterdam Conservatory and people there were also very happy with the instrument. My fortepiano is especially wanted by many and I had rented it out many times. I think it is one of the best fortepiano copies in the world.”
Stanley Hoogland - professor of fortepiano in Amsterdam and Den Haag conservatories
Feedback from this lecture's participants.
"I felt I had a history lesson on the piano & it's formation. I now know who to contact if I ever run into one of these, so far in over 50+ years in the piano business I haven't but you never know. "

"This was my 2nd online convention I found both to be EXCELLENT learning experiences. I am 50+ years in the business so I am definetly not a newbie, just open to new & different ideas & ways of performing certain tasks in piano work. I also had my knowledge base expanded about the differing types of wool used in making felt & the different types of buckskin/sheepskin/leather used in modern & historic piano making."
