Rebuilding

Rebuilding is more extensive than reconditioning. In the case of a Grand piano, rebuilding always means a new pinblock, tuning pins, strings wire and bass, as well as new damper felt. The soundboard is repaired or replaced and a new finish is applied The casting or the plate of the piano is re painted or re guilded. Along with this is extensive tuning time must be allowed for stabilization of the piano both in the shop and in the home. Rebuilding is heavy work but precise work, therefore care must be taken to insure that each step in the process from dismantling the piano to fitting the pinblock to stringing the grand and everything additional in the process be done carefully and thoroughly. The result can be a wonderful addition to your home and is often a lower cost option to replacing the instrument especially if the instrument in question is of good quality.
