Description
This piano has been comprehensively serviced before sale, ensuring it is in excellent condition for its new owner. The servicing includes the Venables Pianos refinishing system, which involves expert cabinet and keytop sanding and polishing to restore the piano's original beauty and luster. Additionally, the key frame pins and key capstans have been polished and lubricated, enhancing their functionality and reducing wear.
The key tops have been sanded and polished to remove any scratches, making them look and feel like new. The key sides have also received attention, being carefully scraped, sharpened, and the blackened areas refreshed, which improves both the appearance and the tactile experience of playing.
A total clean out of the piano has been conducted, which includes the frame, soundboard, keybed, strings, and cabinet, ensuring that every component is free from dust, debris, or old residue. This not only contributes to the aesthetic but also to the acoustic quality of the instrument.
The full lyre service is another crucial aspect of this comprehensive servicing. It includes opening the pedal box, sanding, polishing, and lacquering the pedals, cleaning the pedal pivots, polishing the push rods, and lubricating the top block bushings. This ensures that the pedals operate smoothly and reliably.
All action and keyboard felts have been air cleaned to remove dust and maintain a responsive touch. The hammers have been reshaped, fitted to the strings, and voiced, which is essential for achieving a rich and nuanced sound from the piano.
Lastly, the action has been finely regulated, and the strings, agraffes, and pins cleaned. This meticulous attention to detail not only ensures the piano performs at its best but also revives its aesthetic charm, making it a truly exceptional instrument both visually and acoustically.
