Hello we are in the middle of restoring a Chickering Square grand that was built in 1856 It’ an exciting project and we will be posting photos of the whole project in about 10 days on Flickr.

Ron shows you what to look for when you are buying a used piano. In part 1 Ron shows you what to look for and how to inspect an upright piano. How to take off the access panels, look at the hammers, the tunning pins, the pin block and the bridges

Ron shows you what to look for when you are buying a used piano. In part 2 Ron takes a look at the sound board in an upright and then a grand piano. Ron shows you what kind of cracks are acceptable and what are not. Sound boards can be repaired but you should know what you are in for before you buy that beautiful  piano. We do this so you don’t buy a piece of junk

We’ve been playing with turning photo’s into instructional videos we feel we have lessons that we would like to share with other technicians. Lessons that we usually learned the hard way. Now we have  to learn the lessons of making the videos.

To that end here is  Youtube video we made

More video’s to come soon We promise we have some good ones in the works so subscribe to the YouTube channel.
