This is interesting, but the video gives hardly any details of the restoration. Clearly, those are not modern piano tuning pins, and I'd assume the modern strings and hammers were also replaced by more suitable ones. But how do you know which strings to put, and what kind of padding on the hammers? If it was me I'd try to find a historical (not messed-up) instrument and copy it as much as possible. The alternative is to "fly by the seat of your pants", ie just put what you fancy, which you can do if you have sufficient experience.
