This blog documents the restoration of my 1859 Erard grand piano. A note to Erard restorers: I am seeking to correspond with other Erard restorers and owners to share information on these instruments. Please contact me if you wish to start an online discussion group.

Sealer Coat on the Soundboard
Finally! A few mist coats of sealer on the soundboard. I am using shellac from Rockler, with a 1.5 lb. cut. The blotchy parts along the left side will be hidden beneath the plate. I'll break down the spray kit, and brush from here on out...
I have been following your progress with much interest. I am just starting a major restoration of my 1881 London Erard concert grand. Would love to have your advice, particularly on removal of bracing bars and hitchpin plate.
