The Piano Owner's Guide to Piano Repairs


Below are a list of reports to help you better understand various maintenance and repair procedures of the piano, what they involve and why they are important for your consideration.  They are actually the reports I leave with people who have pianos in need of these services.  Loaded with pictures and written in terms someone besides a piano technician will understand, I have put them here for those who are curious or have a need to know!  These are pdf files, which you can read right online, or they are ready to print off for your convenience.
