Speaker repair - replacement

We do our best to preserve the old speaker, as it has very good sound characteristics, if you consider that the older the spruce gets, the better it sounds.

The work carried out is the repair of cracks, which are very common in old pianos, and the restoration of the separation of the speaker from its counter supports (rims).

We use the best method for these tasks, eliminating in most cases the solution of adding foreign objects to the speaker (metals - screws, etc.). The methods we use include replacing with new spruce sections in multiple dimensions in the speaker cracks and/or adding a special glue mix with a special spruce microfiber treatment to ensure the best possible performance.

If this is not possible, a special order is placed in Germany to manufacture a new speaker and replace the old one.

Repair – Change Rider

There is always an effort to keep the existing materials and not to replace the rider. This requires great skill and many hours of dealing with the specific parts of the piano. The riders are glued with special adhesives, for enormous strength from the strength of the strings with excellent results.

Where it is not possible to repair them, then a special order is made in Germany to make a new one and replace the old rider.

Change of Keys

Changing keys is crucial to keeping the piano in tune at desired levels. Changing keys is recommended when the keys have become so loose that the piano does not hold its strings. Extremely detailed work needs to be done because the keys need to be of uniform hardness both for the stringing and for the duration of the stringing over the coming months.

The materials used come from the best German key brands Biene, Diamant, Dendro.

Changing strings

Changing the strings is imperative when they are rusted or when the rest of the work done on the piano (speaker repair, frame painting) requires their extraction. Especially for the bass strings we choose to keep the old ones as long as they are in very good condition because they fit the piano perfectly as factory ones. But when this is impossible, we end up making new strings and replacing the old strings.

As material, we use only the best Röslau strings from Germany.

Repair - painting of cast iron frame

The metal (cast iron) frame of the piano, when required, is painted and made like new, thus adding value to your repair. It does not have any sound copy in the entire repair but visually it makes the interior of the piano like new. For its painting, special colors for cast iron are used, ensuring excellent results.

It's rarely needed, but when it is we have the ability to do it, we also repair cracks and breaks in cast iron.
