Here work continues on the upper manual. Strips of bushing felt, a thick, woven material, are being tacked to the rear end of the key levers. The bottom of the jacks for this manual will rest on this felt.

For work on the keys, our builders are shown the task, and then they get to do it 60 more times for that manual!--one time for each of the keys.

This particular instrument will have 128 keys when completed: two manuals of five octaves, from FF to f'''.

The bridge for the 8 foot choir of strings is being marked for installation. The procedure is similar to how the nuts were attached to the wrestplank.

Beneath the bridge (here shown upsidedown) are the plans which show the exact location for the bridge on the soundboard.
