Beautiful Toy Piano - Restoration and Sample instrument

In this video, we'll do a quick restoration (clean-up really) of this lovely (old) wooden toy piano, that appears to have been sold by M&S (a UK department store). I've made a sample instrument which is available here (ko-fi.com/s/cb4dd7dc58) or on Github (github.com/drmarkreuter/abomi... ).

thanks for this video. i just found a similar piano that i want to clean/fix and its always helpfull to see someone else take it apart first :-)

Yea, super simple. Because the mechanisms inside are plastic I was confident to wash them with warm soapy water, nothing 'specialist' needed. Hope your clearning/restoration goes well!
