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.

Great experience with Universal Piano Services Inc. Ilya’s expertise and professionalism are outstanding. He was able to answer all our questions and provided guidance, which was very helpful for us as first time piano buyers. My son truly enjoyed the visit as he was able to try and test a few pianos before making his decision. He is very happy with his chosen piano. The piano is in excellent condition, sound quality is amazing, delivery was on time as I was previously informed, price was right in our budget. Highly recommend Ilya and Universal Piano Services!

I bought a beautiful Samick grand piano from this place which made my day. The owner of the shop is super nice and obviously knew what he was talking about. Many options for upright pianos and a few for grands and baby grands.

I found Universal Piano Services on line when I was looking for a piano for my 8 year old. I made an inquiry at 10:00pm. By 9:30am Ilya called me and we scheduled an appointment for that same day. My daughter and I met with Ilya. He showed us a variety of pianos and allowed my daughter to play them. Ilya was very knowledgeable and honest with us. We purchased a piano that same day and the piano was delivered 3 days later. We are very pleased with our purchase and the service we received at Universal Piano Service .
