🎹 Progress Update: Bringing a Spinet Piano Back to Life 🎹

There’s something satisfying about seeing fresh parts go into an instrument that has faithfully served a family for decades.

This week I’ve been replacing damper felts on a spinet piano action. The photo shows the new felts being installed—those bright white and red felts will eventually help each note stop cleanly when the key is released.

Damper felts may be small, but they play a huge role in a piano’s performance. When they become worn, hardened, or misshapen, notes can continue ringing after the key is released, affecting the clarity and beauty of the music.

Spinet pianos are among the most labor-intensive uprights to service because the action must be carefully removed and partially disassembled to access the dampers. It’s meticulous work, but seeing the transformation makes it worthwhile.

As I work through this restoration, I’m reminded of Psalm 33:3:

“Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.”

A well-maintained piano makes it easier to do exactly that.

🎹 Behind the Scenes at 4Hymn Piano Tuning 🎹

Not every piano service call is a simple tuning! Today I’m deep into a spinet piano action, replacing worn damper felts to restore proper note damping and improve the instrument’s overall performance.

Spinet pianos are known for their compact design, but that also means the action must be carefully removed and partially disassembled to access components like the damper assemblies. As you can see, this action is completely out of the piano while new felts are being installed.

Damper felts play a critical role in stopping the strings from vibrating when keys are released. Over time, they can become hardened, grooved, moth-damaged, or simply worn out, leading to ringing notes, poor tone control, and other performance issues.

Whether your piano needs tuning, regulation, repairs, or restoration work, proper maintenance helps preserve both its sound and playability for years to come.

🎹✨ On Friday I had the pleasure of tuning Briana Wells piano. She mentioned that a couple of keys weren’t striking as strongly as the others. Upon inspection, I found that the keys themselves were cracked and in need of repair.

After restoring and tuning, her piano is now back in proper working order — and I think she was thrilled with the results!

Always rewarding to see a piano brought back to life and ready to make music again. 🎶
