dropped piano

[Farrell]

Thanks John, for piping up. I didn't want to be the first to state the obvious. The sides need to come off, scraped clean and re-bonded to the frame. The keybed needs to be re-installed/aligned. Chances are the piano will need a full regulation (hey, the darn thing needed one before the sides came off). We are way easily in the $500 to $1K range in bandage applications - all this work will only bring the piano up the state of the average 50-year-old worn-out cruddy little piano.

I find it difficult to recommend fixing a piano like this when very nice great condition 10 - 20-year old pianos are available for $1K or less.

YMMV

  Dude, this is a spinet. Why not just buy a better piano now? Yeah, you can fix it, but at what price, and what do you really gain?

  List,

  I've got a client who dropped their wurly spinet during a move. Sides are pulling away from the plate , and the keybed is now all screwed up. It gets better when I pull the piano back to original position. What would be your best remedy for this problem?

  Thanks,
