My piano was “rebuilt” about 20-30 years ago, but it doesn sound or play right… whats wrong?
The simple answer is that since about 1990 on, we have been living in the golden era of piano rebuilding. As rebuilders, we have the best resources ever to obtain and use the highest quality piano parts ever produced for the piano industry. This was not true in the 1960’s through 1980’s. Many times, there was only one choice in a piano component, and it was usually wrong. Even with the best of intentions, piano rebuilders during that time period would have to compromise, and make things work (whether they fit or not). This leaves many consumers with the decision to rebuild their piano (again), with proper materials and workmanship. The advantages are now far better.
