Key Repair & Refinishing
Keytop replacement, key leveling and case refinishing for a like-new keyboard.
Key Repair & Refinishing by Wendylario Co.
Chipped ivories, yellowed plastic tops, wobbling keys and worn balance rail bushings all change how a piano feels under the hand. We replace keytops, rebush, level and ease keys so the keyboard looks and plays as it should.
Colorado instruments live in an unusual climate. Between the altitude, the dry winter air and the sharp temperature swings across a single day, pianos here need attention that a technician in a humid coastal city rarely thinks about. Our approach to key repair & refinishing accounts for that from the first measurement.
What the appointment includes
- Full inspection of the instrument's current condition
- Clear explanation of findings in plain language
- The work itself, performed to manufacturer specification where applicable
- A play test with you present so you hear the difference
- Notes on what to expect before the next service
Signs you need this service
Pianos rarely fail suddenly. Owners usually notice that something has slowly changed — the tone sounds tired, notes feel uneven, or the instrument no longer holds pitch between visits. Any of those is worth a phone call; a five minute conversation often identifies the cause before we arrive.
Related services: tuning, regulation and restoration frequently work together on older instruments.
