@@ElysetheEevee Sorry for the confusion, I was making a joke from The Four Yorkshiremen sketch from Monty Python.

I remember when I bought my piano about 20 years ago, just a nice upright with a great tone. I ended up getting a used piano, bc the man selling very expensive new ones told me that the used one he had was much better built than the new Asian imports he sold. He said that their soundboards weren’t solid wood, but were sheets of plywood glued together, making the sound “ugly.” He also said that nearly all new upright pianos have plastic rods attached to the hammers, not wooden rods, so the flexibility of the hammers was completely different and affected the way the hammers responded to the pressure of the keys. So my used, 100% wood piano (which was cheaper than the new ones by $10,000) still sits in our living room, and I’ve been incredibly happy with it. I’m not sure how that place stayed open, but I surely appreciated the salesman’s honesty!

I've been a technician for almost 50 yrs now and fear the loss of maybe the finest instrument ever. AMAZED at how young this shop's workers are - HOORAY FOR YOU ADAM COX!!!! You can buy a cheap one from Taiwan or China or Korea but there's NOTHING like one where craftsmanship is the #1 thing. That's why just saying names like Steinway and you think of quality first. Down the road I pray we also hear much more of Cavendish. WELL DONE GENTLEMEN!!! STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!

I was forbidden to play the piano. I grew up wondering if they will ever let me play the Piano that no one is using. I would sneak a peak under that heavy wood and touch some notes. Of course the whole house would know everytime I do it. Problem is It wasn't our house. It was the neighbors. Thank you for sharing this. I hope they never stop making it.

The piano may degenerate over time, what doesn't. However, it's a very long process and I regularly tune pianos that are over 100 years old and they still sound a play very well. The pianos longevity is far more of a problem for manufacturers than its decline. Why pay thousands for a new one, when you can buy a perfectly good old one for a comparatively small amount ?

As a concert pianist I appreciate this craft so much a poor piano is really tedious to work with and can distort what’s supposed to be a lovely performance.

I had a schoolmate who's mom was an auctioneer, and I once saw a self playing piano sell for 32 USD. It was from the late 1800s and the only problem was that it needed a tuning and maybe a repainting

I can watch this for hours

Hello from Nicholas Bryan, piano tuner in Brazil. I am delighted to learn about the existence of Cavendish Pianos. I thought that was it with WMC having shut down. I did the LCF course in London in the early 1990s. I don't suppose there's any chance of offering your pianos down here in the woods ? Or should I say ashes. Yamaha are quite prominent here in Brazil, Steinway, Boston & Essex and even Fazioli. Where do you get your tools ? I'm having bad luck with F&N tuning heads. I had begun teaching tuning before the pandemic and have had new tuning heads ordered for my students and myself and they seem much more"wobbly" on the pin than the old ones. Have you had the same problem with new Steinway pattern tuning heads ? Best regards. Nicholas, Campinas SP Brazil
