A very gifted cabinet maker re-veneered the cabinet with hand cut hard wood veneers. After stripping the keyboard console cabinet down to bare plywood we found a huge crack running down the inside of entire right hand side of the keyboard end cap where it had clearly been dropped at some point in its life. The whole cabinet was bent like a banana and very much showing signs of a hard life on tour.Gosh wrote:it seems that Klaus treated it well. it looks so shiny and new as if it came directly from the shop. fantastic!!HideawayStudio wrote:
It was actually a pretty tough decision whether to cosmetically strip it all down but it was decided it was simply too far gone to be acceptable for most especially considering its rarity. All in all I think it has turned out beautifully.
On the electronics front over 120 hours of restoration work went into each of the two instruments including replacing over 200 capacitors.
