You are very good with your left hand. I didn't train much as a kid. Although he loved music very much. And tried to learn how to play. (as an amateur) I play well with my right hand, but my left hand still feels like it's dead. Bravo! You inspired me to return to playing the piano and persistently develop my left hand!... it is very important.Without this, playing the piano will not be complete.
Looking at your keyboard playing now, I am once again amazed at how even such a "simple" melody acquires openwork and richness of sound. This is a taste of cozy antiquity! And the best that could have been in the past.
I also experimented with paper nails. Everything was fine. But they fell out and had to be taken out of the mechanism with tweezers. In order not to spoil the mechanics and not to glue and drive iron or wire into hammers tightly, I decided to do something else. I also wanted to make hammers in the style of a "tin" piano. And went to the trick! At first I wanted to make a ribbon with metal rivets. To make the piano sound in two interchangeable modes. But I decided to do it differently. (from the reverse) Instead of adding a fabric ribbon with metal studs to it, on the contrary, I made the felt on the hammers stiff and ringing. Using an iron and shellac. I made the felt on the hammers stiff. The sound is reminiscent of a "harpsichord" (prepared piano) in the style of "tack piano", but I wanted to make the process reversible and two-mode. I was thinking what to do. And I came up with such an original way! If I want the piano to sound like an ordinary, classical piano, then I place a thin cotton sheet between the hammers and the strings. And in this case, the piano again sounds softly like an ordinary piano.
Saloon music on a tack piano, wonderful
Thank You glad you enjoyed it.

Yes it takes some time to get the left hand to work in conjunction

That is a very interesting approach. I first tried to make the banjo rail to make the piano ring but later decided on the thumb tacks
