Piano Man – taking the panel off my Beale

I removed the front panel of my Beale piano! I thought it would be fun to see all those moving hammers. Some of my students don’t know what’s inside an old-fashioned piano, so I played a short version of Billy Joel’s ‘Piano Man’, the quintessential pub piano bar song, for my kids.

Here are a few posts about my old Beale, which was made in Australia, in 1951.
