A lovely hymn to a disappearing craft... the making of a concert grand. The love and care that is given to these pianos is amazing to watch. Doesn't get mucked up with narration, and the interviews are insightful.

An absolutely beautiful movie, both in terms of the content (explaining how the 'souls' of pianos are made by hand in Queens) and the cinematography and editing which is masterful. A couple of times it made me tear up-- which sounds silly (it's just about a piano, right??) but it's truly well-made and includes some touching scenes including one where a foreign family from the old world (Russia) finally buys a piano for the youngest member. He plays in the living room the day it's delivered while his elderly grandfather looks on lovingly. It's really quite beautiful.

"Note by Note" is a necessary viewing for piano addicts. It made me giddy. Ben Niles records the birth and "rearing" of L1037 (the ID number of a specific Steinway Grand) from lumber to wood to frame to soundboard to storage to mechanism-sanding to pounding, tuning and delivery... one piano takes a year to build, and all tuning is done by hand. It's a captivating process. The doc also features performances by Helene Grimaud and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, as well as Marcus Roberts (one of my favorite jazz pianists and an encyclopedia of jazz history) and a whole stable of technicians and artists (the line is blurred here). I love the portions where the artists choose their instruments, noting the particular differences in each grand piano they play ("blech!" "this is more like it..."). This is more than a record of the building an instrument. It's a statement of the value of artisan musicianship in a world that increasingly labels it excessive and frivolous.

Very peaceful, pretty. A fascinating look at something largely made by hand, and the satisfaction and pride the craftspeople take in this.

Beautiful and informative movie, but make sure you have good speakers.
