Can this piano be saved? |
|
Often times people take in "free" pianos in the hopes that they can be saved. I strongly advise that you have me look at the piano first to fully evaluate its condition. This also ensures the piano is capable of holding a tune and worthy of the cost of moving. |

Winter dryness can crack your soundboard! |
|
Hopefully your piano's soundboard does not look like this or it may be too late. A Dampp-Chaser® humidity control system can regulate dryness and humid conditions inside your piano. |

Old pinblock. |
|
This pinblock is not capable of holding the tuning pins with enough torque to keep the instrument in tune. |
