Rebuilding

Rebuilding a piano is the process of completely disassembling, inspecting, and making necessary repairs to a piano. All worn, damaged, and deteriorated parts are removed and replaced. The piano then undergoes reassembly, testing, and adjustments to return the piano to similar tolerances as when it was new. There are two possible options when rebuilding a piano. Complete rebuilding involves the entire structure of the piano, including the soundboard, bridges, pinblock, strings, action, keyboard, and case refinishing. Partial rebuiliding involves only a few of these areas.

Unlike reconditioning, rebuilding restores a piano to its original condition or better. Rebuilding is an option for a high-quality instrument which requires maximum performance and longevity.
