I have a friend that rebuilds/restores grand pianos.

He usually replaces loose pins with oversize ones. I watched him doing it a few days ago. Boring job.




Very punny!

I would actually get a zen-like pleasure from that type of job - but the tool set needed to be a fully qualified piano technician is quite huge. All of these special wrenches and screwdrivers etc. to get up and around and over and beside all of the various mechanisms for different types and brands of pianos - and these guys really don't get paid all that well.

That reminds me to try to find my big catalog from some place in Chicago area. I haven't seen it since my move to CO. Hmmm.
