Detailed oriented is perhaps an understatement for those putting the final touches on a Steinway Model D. The N.Y. Times’ penultimate chapter of their series on the construction of Steinway grand piano No. K0862 follows the almost completed instrument through its final days in the factory. There is the meticulous tone regulator who tweaks the hammers, planes the keybed, weights the keys, lacquers the hammers. Then there are numerous inspections both for sound and cosmetics. One of the keytops is completely replaced. An inspector hears a slight metallic noise and discovers a loose screw rolling about on the soundboard. Nicks are sanded out, the painted logo is fixed up. And at last K0862 is off to Steinway Hall for its first showing.
