Why won’t my piano play properly?

Humidity related problems

Reasons your piano won’t play or have sticking notes might be Moisture or Dryness in the piano. We had a rental piano that was placed near the kitchen and the steam from the cooking caused the notes to stick. We put a Piano Life saver heat rod in the piano with a humidistat switch. The piano was fine after that. At the end of the rental period we bought the piano back to our shop in Belmont and didn’t plug in the heat rod and the piano has been fine.

Notes go down but wont come up? There are generally 3 reasons for this problem.

Mice droppings causing sticking notes

  1. Mice in the piano leave droppings on the keys. These go between the keys and stop them from coming up. Another problem might be that mice have been nesting in the piano and the turds on the keys stop the notes from working. At least with a real piano their is a chance to get it going again unlike Digital pianos that you write off when this happens.

  2. Weights in the keys can swell and will need replacing. this job will need to be done in the workshop.
  3. Humidity problems can cause this as well. See Piano Life Saver System Blog.

 

Broken Loops

On some modern pianos from Japan 15 to 30 years old they have a problem with broken loops. This job involves removing each hammer and replacing the Loop. This can be done on sight but often we take the action back to the shop.   The pictures show the Loops and the popped springs.

Not repairing the broken loops can cause sticking hammers as the spring can get caught in the damper spring. Also the touch will be uneven and repetition very slow. Give us a call now on 94775866 to have your loops replaced.

Moths can eat felts on pianos not played and not tuned for years.

Castor Replacement.
