Pre-purchase Piano Inspection
A pre-purchase piano inspection is an important service for the inexperienced piano player. There are many aspects to consider when purchasing a new piano. Like the size of the room, the ability of the player and what the general use will be. Answering these questions in most cases will help make a more informed decision.
Because the modern piano is a complicated instrument and is made up of over 9000 moving parts. Over time, parts become worn out and in some situations the piano is beyond economical repair.
Frequently I find people looking at free pianos or extremely low priced piano. My experience here is that you’re normally buying someone else problems. So for peace of mind, I highly recommended a piano inspection. As an inspection can save you hundreds of dollars in moving & repair costs.
