GENERAL PIANO REPAIR
Repairs Beyond Tuning, Without Rebuilding
PIANO REPAIR SERVICE IN DALLAS
Some piano problems fall outside the scope of routine tuning but do not require rebuilding or restoration. These issues usually involve individual parts that wear out, loosen, or break over time, affecting how the piano plays, responds, or sits in the home. Rather than treating everything at once, we evaluate the instrument and work through these repairs individually, addressing each issue so the piano performs as it should without unnecessary cost.
This type of repair is intended for instruments that are fundamentally sound but have accumulated issues over time. When more extensive work is required, we’ll explain why and discuss whether restoration is appropriate or if other practical options make more sense.
Our Approach to Piano Repair
COMMON ISSUES WE ADDRESS
• Cabinet damage from moves or wear
• Legs that do not attach securely or wobble
• Pedals that squeak and may require reconditioning
• Installation or replacement of rubber or brass casters
• Broken or missing strings
• Broken or damaged agraffes
• Broken hinges, stripped screws
• Damaged exterior finish
We begin with a practical evaluation of the instrument to identify the specific issues affecting function or stability. Some repairs can be completed on site, while others require shop time depending on the nature of the work and access to the affected components.
When additional work is needed, repairs are discussed clearly before anything proceeds. Each repair is approached individually, with recommendations based on what the piano actually needs rather than a predetermined package or scope.
For instruments that require shop work, we provide a clear estimate before proceeding and keep the focus on correcting the issues that impact reliability and use.
HOW MUCH DOES PIANO REPAIR COST?
The cost of piano repair depends on the instrument and its overall condition. Some pianos have only a few isolated problems, while others have a number of smaller issues that have built up over time.
When a piano has been neglected and needs to be brought into our facility for repair, but full restoration is not being pursued, costs commonly fall in the $1,500 to $3,500 range. This type of work typically involves addressing multiple functional issues such as pedal reconditioning, hardware polishing, cabinet touch-up, or repairing broken cabinet parts.
Once the piano has been evaluated, the recommended scope of work is explained clearly so decisions can be made based on the condition of the instrument and how it will be used.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP FIND THE RIGHT LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR YOUR PIANO
Every piano is different, and the appropriate level of work depends on its condition and how it’s expected to be used. In some cases, repair is the right solution. In others, restoration may make more sense. The goal is to recommend work that is appropriate for the instrument, not more and not less.
