Almost all pianists, after 4-5 years of intense study, must come to terms with the instrument they purchased or inherited. Tuning is important, but adjustments can be even more so. Knowing your own instrument deeply (whether new, used, or restored) is important, but often our negligence or the secrecy of piano sellers and technicians prevents us from understanding what is wrong or what could work better. For purely informative purposes, I have added some photos below that testify to an example of good manners and professionalism often neglected by our dear tuners; can you guess who was so good? I'll give you a hint: besides being a technician, he performs concerts. ù.ù

This concerns hammers and action (of a Schiedmayer upright from the last century) accompanied by a report with photos and interventions performed. What else could a pianist who just wants to play and improve their technique want?

Thank you Andry for publishing these photos. Your upright piano is beautiful, and thank you for entrusting me with this instrument and for participating with me in the regulation. You know how much I care about the replacement, especially of the hammers, after a restoration. The report is important so that a trace remains in the history of the instrument regarding what was performed during the restoration. I will visit your instrument again and we will see together what it still needs. We will also play it, in the end. See you soon Paolo
