Piano Repair
Unfortunately there are times when your piano may require more than just a tuning. As with any other complex mechanisms, with time piano parts can wear out and need repair or replacement. Some of the services you piano could need are:
Key top resurfacing
The tops of your piano keys will often turn yellow and wear out, or even become chipped or broken. Key top resurfacing involves replacing the existing tops with new white plastic coverings. This also applies to black keys as well.
Replacement of key bushings
With a lot of use, keys will become unsteady and even shaky, sometimes hitting the adjacent keys. This problem can be solved by replacing the front rail, balancing rail bushings and leveling the keys.
Pedal repair and replacement
Pedals play a key role in the functioning of the piano as a whole. These can also break, become unadjusted or simply start looking unattractive. A technician can fix, adjust or replace these with new pedals.
Restringing
Sometimes when a piano string breaks, it is possible to repair it using a special knot. However, many times strings just need to be replaced. Technicians can order these strings and replace them for you.
Hammer reshaping
Hammers can form grooves on them after playing too frequently or too hard, and this prevents hammers from hitting the strings properly. Our experts can either file the hammers to bring them back to their original shape, or when this is not possible, replace the hammers entirely.
