While she clearly recognizes its mechanical needs, she just keeps talking primarily about refinishing. And her ivory keytops. A few years ago, she had someone re-glue and replace some ivories. They started popping off in very short order. It looks like he used epoxy. Ugh.</div>

I come across these not infrequently. “We just had out piano rebuilt (it was actually just refinished) and could you come and check it out, there are some notes that don’t work”. Turns out there’s any number of strings and action parts missing or broken. Sure does look nice though. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
