Why do some antique pianos not sound pleasing?
Many antique pianos have not been properly tuned or regulated for years. Some parts may need repair, replacing and/or adjusting. This alone makes a piano sound off and play poorly. For example, hammers may harden and become grooved and misshapen with use and time and then sound harsh. Antique pianos have often been subjected to poor physical environments over the years. Some problems are correctable. Unfortunately, years of neglect can result in serious defects that are cost prohibitive to repair. For these reasons, PianoGrands is highly selective in acquiring only those instruments which can be brought up to the highest playing standards.
