Repairs
Many piano parts are made of felt and leather and can wear over time. This happens on all pianos no matter how expensive they are. Adjustments may be needed on the thousands of moving parts. Having your piano in good working condition will make your piano more enjoyable and help keep its value. Call me and we can talk about your piano problems if you experience the following.
Sticky keys can be caused by more than 20 different things
Notes that don’t sound could be broken parts
Broken strings
Squeaky pedals
Broken keys caused from playing too hard
Notes that stay sustained and keep on ringing
Pianos that won’t hold a tune might have loose tuning pins
Cleaning once in a while can keep your piano in better working condition
Do it yourself repairs are not recommended under any circumstances. Even gluing a loose key top back on without removing the key from the piano could cause lots of problems. I once had a customer call that had sticky keys so when I arrived at her house I found she had a bird cage on both sides of her piano. Sure enough bird seed had gotten in between the keys and causing them to stick. Call a piano technician to do any repairs.
