Piano Restringing

 

THE PROBLEM: 


Strings lose their resilience and tuning pins become loose. 

The Solution:

String Replacement

Piano strings have a life of about 40 years.  By this point, the bass strings have lost most of their "punch" or  brilliance and may sound tubby and a little dead. Treble strings develop  "false beats" or other imperfections and can no longer reproduce  beautiful bell-like sounds. We always replace tuning pins with a  re-stringing to insure long-lasting tunings. 


Loose  tuning pins are a common problem with older pianos and replacing them  with larger ones is the proper fix. This is the perfect time to replace  strings too, the two go hand-in-hand. 


The cost varies depending on the size of the instrument, but runs from about $4000 - $5000, which includes delivery to and from our shop.
