Piano Restoration...sort of


Some time ago we were given an old Hammond piano. Now that we are a bit more settled we hired a piano tuner to come out and see if our piano could be fixed. He looked it over thoroughly and decided that it might not be worth our money. :-(

We guessed that the piano was built some time in the 1920s. I talked with him about taking it apart and putting an electric keyboard in it. He said that was a great idea and offered some suggestions on when to start. So I began taking it apart yesterday. Currently, I have all the keys out and a space cleared for the keyboard. (see pics)

Now I need to find a keyboard to fit in the spot. I will let you know how it goes.
Enjoy!
