Re: Cost of a new Renner grand action with Dampers etc?
The guys are quite correct, Renner UK is a strictly trade only supply house. We have a list of Renner trained technicians around the country who have been trained at the Renner factory in the art of fitting a new action. If you let me know where you are and I will send you their details direct. Fitt...

Dear Michael
Which part of Germany do you live. I have a few contacts in the BDK and can find a good technician for you.

Re: Quality used upright advice
OK guys but what about the Steingraeber & Söhne range of uprights??????? I think that their grands are better than S&S. Gone are the days where you could look at 8 model o's and 7 would be fantastic and one would be OK, now its 2 are fantastic and 6 are OK. If you are buying for the sound, t...

Re: Why no price disclosed
The reason that some supply houses mark parts such as brass castors POA is that the cost of the parts keep increasing due to the cost of raw materials. Piano wire and brass castors have increased in price 3 times a year over the last 2 years. As for pianos, I am guessing that when one dealer sets hi...

Re: Quality used upright advice
Sauters are very hard to beat. It would be worth a visit to the factory to choose one from the production line.

Re: Cost of action overhaul
The replacement parts idea is better value for money. Bechsteins are well known for having weak action parts. The best option for both piano and client is replacement.
As a member of both IMIT and PTA i know that there are some members that i would not trust to tune a radio.

Re: Cost of action overhaul
To be honest a piano of that age will require new hammers and shanks. Providing the instrument is in good condition I would also recommend the conversion from the tied action to that of the modern action. It is not an easy repair and would require an experienced technician who could re-calculate the...

Re: Bluthner Patent Shanks
Renner can supply new patent shanks, flanges and lightwieght hammers to keep the original touch and feel of the action. Or can supply a new keyboard and action to fully convert the piano to a roller action.

Sorry folks to enter the debate so late, but I am also doubtful as to the quality of the Polish work. Over the past year the London piano auctions have had a large number of Polish rebuilds put in to the sale, and the majority have splits in the soundboard which run along the new repair. This has be...

Yes I do, the trade has shrunk and will do so some more. The upright restoration business is now just down to stentimental work and the odd Steinway, Bluthner etc. But for me it is the grand work which is booming. Until there is a good grand made under 5k, that business will always be there. I must ...

Hi If the screws are too tight and will not move, I would put a soldering iron on each one for a short while and this should free them. Take care not to go too mad with the heat, and if you have the time I would file the burrs off of each screw as well to enable a better grip with the screwdriver. I...
