Steinway A Case Work Begins

I have begun the case repairs on the Steinway. There is a lot of damage from rough handling by the previous owner, and by sloppy work from the previous rebuilder. There is so much craftsmanship that can be done well or poorly that the customer never sees. I have learned a long time ago that you can't be a high end rebuilder and be cheap. If a client buys a "cheap" job, that is what they are going to get. It may not be evident to the untrained eye, but the player will hear and feel the difference between excellent craftsmanship and a poor craftsmanship. You get what you pay for is very true in piano rebuilding. If the price is cheap, the end result will be cheap. A cheap price for high quality work is call bankruptcy.
