IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED:
Recondition—Complete cleaning, reshape hammers, tighten action screws, replace defective parts. Rebuild pedal mechanisms. Recondition player action, install new player hoses. Remove lower player components. NOTE: The player works very well considering its age. Since we removed the lower player mechanism, it is powered only by an electric vacuum pump and no longer has the foot pedals or the bellows. Our 1-year guarantee does not extend to the player.
Regulation—all adjustments to ensure that piano plays like new, tune to A-440. Regulate player action.
Partially refinished--Cabinet parts cleaned with special "restorer" chemical to fill scratches and blemishes with color.
Bench--New mahogany bench with vinyl cover.
