STICKY–KEY  REPAIR,  KEY–TOP  REPAIR,  PEDAL  ADJUSTMENT

​​Faulty, damaged, or sticking keys can be easily repaired or replaced.  Why put up with the annoyance?  Adjustment can be made to the “touch point” of piano pedals and faulty pedal mechanisms can be repaired.

MAJOR  REPAIRS  AND  RESTORATION

​Today, many high-quality older pianos exist in various stages of wear.  Because it happens so gradually, this wear often goes unnoticed, leaving many pianos operating far below their potential.  In extreme cases, some older pianos are simply left unplayed because of their poor condition.

Tracy has extensive experience repairing, reconditioning, and completely rebuilding both uprights and grands.  But not all pianos are worth the expense of reconditioning or rebuilding.  You should consider the following factors:

• The overall condition of the piano.  Can it really be restored to original or acceptable condition or has it deteriorated beyond repair?  Pianos subjected to severe fire, flood, or moving damage may not be repairable.

• The quality, size, and type of the piano.  Low-priced, small pianos of poor design have limited potential.  If the rebuilt piano would not be capable of meeting your performance needs, it might be better to replace it with one of better design.

• The sentimental value of the piano.  Was it your childhood piano or did it belong to a loved one?  Is this unduly influencing your objective judgment?
