HERE TO REPAIR YOUR PIANO

The action becomes uneven and less responsive, and the piano’s tone loses its dynamic range. Squeaks and rattles may develop after extended or heavy use. Action parts become severely worn, leather and felt wear thin, keys become wobbly, the hammer felt gets too thin to produce good tome, and the action becomes noisy. In addition, the piano strings may begin breaking and the cooper winding of the bass’ strings lose resonance.

I spent a lot of time looking for our family's piano but I when I went to Universal the decision became easy. There was a great selection of beautifully maintained pianos, and the delivery and tuning was seamless. It was a pleasure dealing with Ilya at Universal Piano. Best to just make an appointment with him as his online inventory is not always up to date!
