-------------------

We fully restore or rebuild all of our pianos here at A.M.O. Pianos and we are sometimes asked; "what does restoration or rebuilding mean"

 

It means the piano will be inviting and will be a delight to play - Many pianists describe it as: "Amazing, or almost like it plays itself".

 

The reason why new and restored pianos are so fun and easy to play is because they have been carefully calibrated from key to key, so that each key is very even and feels the same. These adjustments are recommended as needed (about every 20-30 years for most average used pianos). Guitars and other stringed instruments use your fingers to control volume and dynamics, but the piano strings are being hit by a hammer, which is controlled by a key mechanism. If the mechanism is not calibrated then the performance will be very low or non-existent no matter how talented the musician is. But as a beginner is actually when it is truly most important to have everything working top notch. You wouldn't want to learn how to ride a bike with flat tires or the pedals half working, right?

 

"Why does the factory calibration not hold"?

 

Well, thankfully it actually holds for quite a while, and is usually not noticed for 20-30+ years.

 

When you play the piano, you are favoring notes. Which means there are notes being used more than others. This slight favoring is not very apparent for a long time because the player is also slowly getting used to the tiny changes over time. But after 10-20 years, the difference in touch and performance from key to key will be very noticeable. 30 years of light use on any piano will make the keys no longer as fun or easy to play, and playing will take more effort and thought to make the notes play the way you want them to (and some might not work at all). This is the first sign that your piano is no longer inviting you to play as often.

 

A calibrated piano will play very whisper quiet all the way down the keyboard with ease. Any piano that has been restored will play whisper quiet or any volume or speed you wish, because the keys will be responsive enough to give the player the delicate touch which is required to play the piano.

 

Restoration or rebuilding means restoring the original performance back into the instrument. This includes new parts if needed, and full calibration of all 88 notes, so they will be smooth, and easy to play!
