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.
• Pedals that squeak and may require reconditioning
• Installation or replacement of rubber or brass casters
• Broken or missing strings and sticking keys
• 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. First step is to determine what can and should be done and if it is worth it. We don’t recommend repairs when the piano wouldn’t be appreciably better and worth the investment.
It’s best to get a firm price from us after we have seen the piano because obviously we can’t tell you without seeing it, and it could be higher or lower. It wouldn’t make sense for us to speculate so we invite you to call us to talk about your piano and we can give you some pricing over the phone.
