Sticking Piano Keys

Piano keyboard.
One of the most common problems with pianos is sticking keys; when depressed the key does not return to position as it should, or does not respond properly or is otherwise difficult to play in some way. There are over half a dozen possible reasons for sticking piano keys and most often the solution is simple and can be addressed along with a regular tuning. Other times the solution might be more involved, require more time and effort and possible require the replacement of parts. We are equipped to handle all causes of sticking piano keys so please feel free to contact us for the best solutions. One of the most common causes of sticking piano keys may actually be excessive humidity; when hammer felts or other mechanisms swell, movement naturally becomes sluggish. To solve the problem permanently we may recommend moving the piano to a dryer location (e.g. away from an often open window) or installing a humidity control system.   

Piano Key Tops Replacement & Repair

Replacement key tops and glue for a piano.
Another common piano repair is chipped or broken key tops. Whether old or new we can easily repair or replace key tops by mending broken pieces with a special glue if they are still available or replacing the part altogether. Piano key tops are no longer actually made of ivory, a practice long ago replaced with a specialized plastic. However, if you have an older piano with ivory keys, we are still able to address any repair issues your piano may have. 

Broken Piano Hammers

Piano hammers and strings.
Broken piano hammers are also a common piano repair, particularly if a piano is aged, worn or dried out. Broken hammers can often be mended but if necessary hammers can also be replaced new ones. There are many different types of replacement hammers available but we will always choose the right one for your brand and type of instrument.

Broken Piano Strings & Other Repairs
