Piano Recycling

Update on my above post about finding a dumped one.

I just took the steel core



Not so good image but you can kinda see it

I had an antique one that had lead cores to weight the keys on the mechanics that connected to the things that pick the strings. they were about 3/8" in diameter and 3/8" long. cant recall how long it took to take them out but seemed worthwhile at the time.
