The keyboard is a major focal point and is the player’s interactive medium with the instrument; it is also the foundation of a well functioning action. Playability, and even tone, depend on consistent, efficient, and appropriate transfer of energy through the keys.

Piano and Organ restorations that offer such features as a refinished case or extensive work on soundboard, strings, pinblock, action parts, and damper systems should not overlook worn keytops, distorted balance holes, loose bushings, broken buttons, or corroded key pins. We provide our restoration and repair techniques with a combination of knowledge and experience coupled with state of the art milling machines and original Pratt & Read factory tooling.

Making music is an art form, a passion and career for many, playing on worn or distorted keys is discouraging to the student and disruptive to the accomplished. Many instrument builders and rebuilders have found that a high quality keyboard is a value added option in moving their product.
