In the Home
Many piano repairs and cleaning can be performed in the home including broken piano keys, string replacement, broken piano hammers, squeaky pedals, and sticking keys. I carry with me a wide variety of specialized materials and supplies including strings, grand piano and upright piano parts, glues, lubricants and more to successfully perform many on–site repairs and cleaning services. (Most repairs and cleanings are typically not included in the cost of a piano tuning.)
In the Shop
Some problems that need repair, including severely worn, defective or broken action components, may require that the piano action mechanism, or the piano itself, go into the shop for replacement of action parts, rebuilding or reconditioning. Broken benches and pedal lyres, along with other parts of the piano, can also be repaired, quite effectively in the shop. Over the years I have repaired dozens of piano benches and piano pedal lyres to the delight of their owners.

Do-It-Yourself?
As tempting as it might be, do not perform repairs yourself. Though a problem may appear easy to solve (such as regluing a broken hammer), a qualified piano technician will have the proper experience, tools and parts to make repairs quickly and correctly. It’s important to remember that unsuccessful, amateur repairs are usually much more expensive to fix than the initial problem and may decrease the value of your piano.
