If you have a piano for sale, feel free to contact us. Our best advice is to collect as much information as you can about the piano before you call or email. In uprights, pin blocks require replacement less often, so restoration means that the piano has been restored to the original function.
We are proud to offer a comprehensive warranty on every piano we sell. That means that we warranty against defective parts and workmanship. Unfortunately, we cannot warranty against damage sustained by the piano through anything but normal use. Typically our warranty is 5 years, with a year warranty on every Steinway we sell. If the piano is something we think we can find a home for, we will offer a fair trade-in value.
Thanks for asking! The tuner will need to open the top of your upright to remove the front panel. Please provide as much light as possible.

Cracked bridges, or bridge caps that have come loose mean that the quality of the sound will be very poor, and if the bridge cap is unglued, there is no point in tuning the piano.
The bottom board is no longer screwed to the piano. The bottom board is the part that the pedals are attached to, and when you try and use the sustain pedal, nothing works! I have seen pianos where the pedals only stop when they reach the floor, and the whole bottom of the piano is being pushed down. The action is beyond repair. There are felt pieces and wooden pieces and screws and very small pins and all of these have specific tolorences and amounts of resistance measured in grams, and many factors interfere with these things.
Humidity and wear are the two main causes, but sometimes little critters are the culprits. Soundboard cracks and rib separations can sometimes be ignored, but when many different things are wrong with the piano, then it is time to stop ignoring this issue.
