The
ca. 12,000 parts in a piano result in instruments which vary tremendously--even
mass produced pianos will vary in sound quality.
Much depends on how a piano has been maintained and where it has spent its life.
Rebuilding a piano requires old-country craftsmanship and patience rarely found today.
Yet this workmanship determines the response and pleasure a rebuilt piano will deliver. It is also crucial to investment value.
Beyond a certain level of basic knowledge (see article:
"How to Buy a Piano"), most people simply do not have the time or experience to become an expert
on pianos.
The piano is the most complex non-electronic machine
in existence
which is still made largely by hand.
