One of the most important aesthetic parts of the piano is the key board. Even the best preserved piano case looks a little less shiny when the key tops look like something the cat dragged in. When cleaning no longer helps speak with the piano technician at your next appointment for options in restoring your pianos key tops.

As with all good things, age can dramatically affect the best of piano strings. Oxidation, pitting and rust will deteriorate the most robust bass strings to a whimpy thud with time. A well maintained piano case and piano action may only need new strings to bring it back to life. This is a huge savings when viewed against replacing the piano. Ask the piano technician at your next appointment about this as a possible option for your aging heirloom.

Some times repairs just aren’t enough to bringing your piano back to playing ability. Age will deteriorate every part of a piano regardless of environment and regular service. Before making any decisions give us a call. Many a family heirloom has been fully restored for generations to enjoy. Recently, an old grand was discovered in a barn. Buried underneath hay and debris the owner was going to take it to the burn pile. Thankfully, they had a technician look at it before hand. It was a 9’ Concert grand. A little TLC and the piano was back and playable and the owner couldn’t have been more thrilled with the end. When in doubt call us. One man’s junk may be another man’s riches.
