Most of the ivory key tops were badly chipped, fairly normal for older pianos that have been played and moved about.
Note chipped keys and uneven key spacing
Another closeup of the chipped keys
The ebony sharps were cleaned and polished. We decided to file the key tops square rather than replace them with modern plastic tops.
Keys filed and fit. Key spacing adjusted. Case cleaned and polished
Closeup of filed keys and polished fallboard.
These pictures are a bit out of order, the next page shows all the work done to the bottom of the piano.
