Your piano is at least 50 years old has been sitting in the corner of your den forever and is covered with all sorts of junk. You sit down to play it and it sounds terrible, you look inside and all you see is dirt and cobwebs. Your piano may be a candidate for reconditioning! When a piano is reconditioned it undergoes a thorough inspection of its working parts all defective parts are replaced, everything is aligned, tightened, lubricated, cleaned, and if necessary, the action is regulated — it can work wonders!
