Over a third of the pianos that I service are old uprights. The people
that own them like them and I give them the best service that is
appropriate. Almost all could use hammer shaping and regulation, but
if the owners have no complaints about tone and performance, I don't
feel good about selling a service they won't appreciate. They joy that
the owners get from these pianos is the important thing, not their
condition or my enjoyment in servicing them.
