Piano Tuning And Repair Service | Professional Piano Technicians | |
A common question we get asked is “What should I do with an old piano?” When it comes to modern appliances, devices, clothes, toys we consider something ‘old’ after maybe 7-10 years. (Who still uses the same phone they had 10 years ago?) When it comes to acoustic pianos, old typically means anywhere from 50 - 120 years old! Many old uprights and grands still exist in people’s homes today that were acquired and passed down from previous generations. These instruments for the most part were wonderful instruments in their time. Many pianos from the early 1900s through the 50’s were made in the USA under many different reputable brands. The fact that so many century old pianos are still around and playable today is a testament to the fine craftsmanship and quality of materials used. At some point though, every piano has a shelf life. Even the most excellent quality pianos made with the finest materials will need to be refurbished / rebuilt at some point. Strings and hammers typically last anywhere from 25 - 40 years depending on use and environment. Felts will wear out and compress, metal parts will rust and oxidize, and wood will crack and deteriorate over time. In conclusion, it is of course a sad reality that a generational instrument with decades of love and joy would eventually need to be retired. The good news is if you invest in a quality acoustic piano made today, with proper maintenance you can still enjoy decades of music and have something to even pass down to children or grandchildren.
