A 1920s Mason & Hamlin piano is in the restoration process. To improve the piano’s performance, a completely new action will be designed and installed on the existing keyboard. This will include new action parts, brackets and rails.

You will learn the procedure and be provided with the necessary materials to perform this task on your next rebuild with confidence. By the end of the class, the action will be installed, and in a playable condition.
