Action, Keyboard & Dampers

These 3 sections, (sometimes referred to as the "Playing Mechanism") deal with the moving parts responsible for enabling the strings to be struck, and dampers to cut off the sound. It is important, therefore, that all the levers, flanges, hammers, springs, jacks and dampers etc, are not only in proper working order, but are not impeded by wear & tear that is sustained over many years of playing, and general degeneration over the years.

Cabinet Refinishing

Most pianos' cabinets will (over their lives) have lost their original luster and beauty of polished woodgrain. The original antique piano finish will have sustained scratches, dents, fading, cracking of polish, etc. Although primarily musical instruments, the attraction of an antique or traditional pianos is the elegance and refinement of each individual cabinet, which could be ebonised, or contain a fine veneer, such as Rosewood, Mahogany, Oak or Burr Walnut. Some may even have the benefit of an unusual design, or contain some fine inlaid marquetry.
