ORGAN KEYBOARD BUILD VID SO FAR
Added 2023-01-07 22:56:30 +0000 UTCso here is the progress so far. very glad to have tackled this as initially i thought it was going to be too big of a job. but its not that bad, just fiddly!
i was hoping to be a lot further, infact finished with a video up tomorrow but had a bit of an issue this week.
My first experience of covid. its pretty horrid, only managed to do an hour here and there on the keyboard before it being unpleasant. i had a couple of days just after summer last year where i was a bit ill and a couple of people said it might have been covid but i'm starting to think that was just a cold as this week it has knocked me back for six, its not pleasent at all, i'm amazed i managed to avoid it for this long. anyways hopefully it'll be over soon and can get back to a usual pace! but until then hope this little vid is interesting, it shows how the keyboard is put together anyway!
ps i shot the talkey bits in the vid above on wednesday, it was all downhill from there haha, i haven't done any more talking in the videos since then as i canny get a word in without coughing haha.

The internal key bushings are made from bushing cloth… It’s bought in strips from a piano parts supplier. Fitting it is fiddly. It comes in different thicknesses.

2023-01-14 23:13:52 +0000 UTCtim thanks a lot for the offer! i actually have some i bought for it, but it didnt have them in before it was a felt pad like i put in, when i put the green washers on they were stopping it from levering properly, so i guess it explains why they went for the long thin pad approach instead?. its a very shallow action to it. thanks a lot though tim!
