I mostly do minor repairs on pianos. Fix sticky keys, reattach parts that have come off, dig stuff out of the action that is blocking keys. I find all kinds of things inside pianos. Golf tees, a lot of dust, spider webs, dead bugs and unfortunately on occasion I find evidence of mice.
This was a beautiful Yamaha Baby Grand piano. It was covered in dust. I cleaned it up for the client, tuned it and it turned out great!

I see all kinds of interesting things in homes I go to...loved the Moose!


After I cleaned the piano up...it looked awesome.

A couple days ago I was tuning a piano and ran into a problem with F4 and G4. When I played either key, both of them would play. Hmmmm. Started investigating and found a catcher on G4 had come off and fell into the action. I fished it out with needle nose pliers, glued it back in, tuned both keys and everything worked great.
