Work done:
Action Reconditioned
- Hammer Heads Reshaped and Voiced
Wear to the hammer heads is normal. Subsequently, reshaping and voicing is done for optimal tone and tuning ability. These hammers have been reshaped, a voicing procedure done by sanding the outer perimeter of the hammer head recreating a smooth striking surface and correct symmetry.
- Action Screws Tightened
- Adjustments made to bring action back to specification.
Piano is Tune stable to Standard Pitch A440. This piano never tuned below pitch and is very stable at A440.
- Notice how clean keybed is. Internally this piano is like new; better is some cases. Many new pianos use a CNC routed laminated panel for keybed. This one is a high quality spruce keybed made up with expnasion panels to inusre stability of the action.
- Accujust Hitch Pins and Hard Maple Bridges
- Soundboard in excellent condition. Made of high quality tight-grain Sitka pruce with mortised ribbing. Many new pianos in double this price range have laminated boards of inferior quality. The soundbard is the heart of the piano.
