Piano Overhaul Services

"Bringing Life Back into that Old Piano"

Some piano specialists call this reconditioning, or restoration.  I refer to this procedure as an overhaul. The focus is the get the piano performing the best it can with the parts it has by repairing and cleaning them.

This special 2-3 day service is ideal for older pianos that have been neglected, yet still have a musical life left in there.

Working on-site saves moving costs (of around $400-$500), and will take over the piano room for a few days.  

However, once finished, the piano is ready to provide ten to fifteen years of good service (longer if the piano is cared for and serviced regularly).

Here's a list of the services that may be included:
  • Exterior cleaned
  • Interior Vacuumed & Cleaned
  • Plate Bolts Tightened/Repaired
  • replace rubber bumpers and pads
  • Bass Bridges Repaired*
  • Bass Strings twisted & Livened
  • Strings cleaned
  • Tenor/Treble broken strings repaired*
  • Pin block repaired (CA treated)
  • Castors (wheels) tightened/adjusted*
  • Refelt Key bed
  • Polish Keys & Key pins
  • Buff/Clean keys
  • Ease/Tighten Key bushings
  • Resurface/Shape Hammers
  • Tighten/Ease Action Screws
  • Replace Bridle Straps
  • Minor Action repairs/adjustments
  • Remove lost motion in action
  • level & dip keys
  • Tune A-440

This will require a repair estimate ($75) which will be credited to the overhaul work if the estimate is accepted.
