Bellywork

This is an embellishing industry term that describes the overall work on the soundboard and string area of the piano. Our work in this area rivals new pianos. Often called rebuilding, this work includes:

• Restringing the piano
• Repair or replacement of the soundboard
• Repair or replacement of the bridges
• Pinblock replacement when needed
• Refinishing the soundboard and plate (harp)

Action and keyboard

The term "action" describes the entire mechanism that allows your fingers to connect to the strings. Up to 5000 parts of wood, metal, leather, and felt make up this complicated aspect of the piano. Our staff has been trained in US and German factories in the very specific skills required to create an ideal even and balanced touch of your piano.
