I can help you personally in Perth by examining your piano or one that you are looking to buy, and giving you my opinion. Or I can recommend some highly-experienced piano tuner/technicians who provide a comprehensive and reliable service.
I've written a short series of articles about old uprights, made for everyday people who:
Examining secondhand pianos was one of my first hobbies. I used to love going to the auctions where I'd take them apart and examine them with a torch and a tuning fork. Though I'm not an expert and have no formal training in piano construction or maintenance, I can tell you the basics, which could really help you put things in perspective and avoid costly mistakes.
- have an old piano and want to maintain its tuning
- want to sell an old piano, or
- want to know what to look for when buying one.
Sometimes the biggest mistake of all is to take the word of an inexperienced piano technician! Ask me how I know that.
Most of my experience has been with uprights but many principles also apply to grand pianos.
My articles about secondhand pianos are available HERE.
