So, sometime around this week, I actually fixed something in my piano.
For context, in mid-2021, the damper/sustain pedal stopped working. I had no idea what it was, but I did hear and feel something come undone. At the time, I was actually hoping to save enough money to get an expert to fix it for us (and I guess maybe give the keys a little tuning), but clearly that never happened.
Skip a couple years later all the way to sometime last week. I was listening to an old recording of myself playing the piano, and really felt nostalgic to the time where I would just imporvise random crap. And a lot of it involved the damper pedal. And so, I went, "that's it! I'm going to see if there is actually a person that can fix all this!"
I looked up my issue on the internet, came across some YouTube videos and I learned that you could just... OPEN the lower-front of the piano like that. And after a while of trial and error and trying to find the right video that matched my issue...
It just turned out that all I needed to to was tighten the key screwed to the pedal and the lever. I've never felt so happy and also proud of myself!
WE ARE SO BACK!!!
