Detailed Assembly Video: https://youtu.be/Bs-1Kx6Yyn0 (Kindly note that the video is made using the 13 key model but most aspect of the assembly is Identical)

Hidden in every Grand Piano is an amazing mechanism that is activated with every key stroke that allows rapid repetition of key strokes and a responsive yet sensitive sound production.

This 3D printed model is designed to showcase the mechanical aspect of the piano action model. The strings are replaced with steel rods for a much simpler acoustic construction and therefore it sounds more like a xylophone rather than a piano.

Kindly Note that this is NOT a 100% 3D printed model. There are fasteners and rods that are used to assemble the 3D printed parts together, and the links and BOM for all the non-printable components can be found in the assembly guide.

There is also an extended 13 Key model, and the 5 key model is also included in the extended version.
