What a beautiful city we live in!!!

.Here are some interesting facts regarding the Tension of the strings: Pianos usually have around 220-230 strings that are made from steel and strung extremely tight in order to produce a sound when being struck by the hammers. Each string usually holds around 168 pounds of tension, making the total tension of most standard pianos around 18-20 tons. However, some of the largest grand pianos hold up to whopping 30 tons of tension! This is truly incredible and exactly what makes piano tuning such a specialist, intricate job that can only be done by a professional.

This explains the beauty and cost of a Steinway!!

This piano lives at St. Mark's Anglican Church. I know this piano well! It is a 7'6" Bechstein grand piano. My contribution was a new pin block 7 years ago...a lot of work!

You are looking at the inside of a Bechstein upright piano. It is often compared to a Steinway or Bosendorfers. It is a little tired but still functioning remarkably well after 115 years!!
