Piano repairs
It is inevitable that over time your piano will be subject to wear-and-tear that will affect different parts of the piano. Like any mechanical device, these deteriorations will affect how the piano sounds or plays, or both. Some repairs can be carried out at the piano during the course of a tuning session such as a simple re-pinning of a hammer.
Common piano repairs include:
- Replacing a string
- Re-pinning a hammer
- Replacing a bridle tape
- Replacing springs
- Replacing felts
- Replacing cloths
Complicated piano repairs
Other repairs require parts of the piano to be taken away, either because the job is too time consuming to be done on site, or it is too messy to be done on site, or because some new parts need to be specially ordered for a particular job.
Anything can be repaired on your piano
Sometimes reconditioning old parts, where possible, can save you the cost of buying and fitting brand new parts. Bear in mind, though, that the monetary value of your piano may dictate whether or not it is viable to engage in some of the more major repairs. For example, replacing the pin block of a 50 year old upright piano may, and in most cases probably would, cost more than the piano is actually worth.
