Clunker pianos - what do you do?

  We decline to work on spinet pianos. Describing them as problematic & aged instruments having reached diminishing musical & financial returns because of poor design & condition & therefore are no longer viable candidates for service.  Also we  no longer work on players. Our shop is a player free zone. I often explain that like auto dealers the we limit brands we specialize in. <makes sense.....to me anyway.

Hi all.  I have to admit that I’m pretty tired of old clunker pianos.  Hammers are shot, strings are beginning to break, parts are failing left and right, and the pinblock was done quite a while ago.  The problem is that many people in my area can’t afford anything better and there’s no one else in my county to work on these old pianos.  

 

I’m curious how many of you refuse to work on clunkers anymore.  Every time I work on one I tell myself it is my last!  =)

 

Best wishes,
