Action Rebuilding
Extending a piano's life by replacing the parts that are most heavily used.
Pianos are designed to withstand thousands of hours of playing. In order to make this possible, certain parts are engineered to absorb the heavy impact and repetitive motions required for the hammers to strike the strings.
The life and performance of a piano can be greatly extended with strategic replacement of action components such as hammers, key bushings, shanks, knuckles and whippens.
Action rebuilding is a highly skilled craft and the results will depend on the knowledge and experience of the technician doing the work. By seeking the expertise of a highly qualified, certified technician, your piano can be restored to peak performance at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new instrument.
