Parks & Sons offers a complete line of piano service.
Every job is performed to our high quality standards - and as with all our
services we keep our customer's best interest in mind.
This means that, unlike so many other piano services,
we do not promote services or items the customer does not need.
If we suggest work on your instrument we will always explain why it is needed,
how much it would cost, and any alternatives available. We then supply the customer with
any information they need to make their own decision.
Parks & Sons Piano Service provides the following services at affordable prices - see our educational section for a discussion on each item.
Fine Tuning - This can be the standard A440, tuned to another instrument, or another pitch.
Pitch Raises - This is a special type of tuning to bring pitch up on instruments that are very flat, and is followed by a fine tuning.
Sometimes if a piano has fallen extremely flat two pitch raises may be needed before a fine tuning. This is usually the case for instruments that have gone more than two years without
a tunings.
Regulation - Either a whole instrument regulation, action regulation, key regulation, trap-work regulation, or a combination of such. Regulation
brings the piano back inline with the manufacturer's specifications, improving playing, tone, and keeping
the instrument in good condition. Regulation is also part of Concert Prepping a piano.
Repair Work - We offer complete repair services. Each repair that is charged for will only be carried out upon customer agreement. Sometimes we
will repair items we come across while working on an instrument - but we will never charge for a repair that a customer has not previously agreed to (i.e. - if our Tuner-Technician is there to tune the instrument and
a repair is made that is not previously agreed to by the customer - it is not charged for.)
Reconditioning - This will bring the piano back to, or close to, manufacturer's specifications. This is one step below a piano rebuilding.
Partial-Rebuilding - We offer two type of rebuilding. A Partial Rebuilding will be a
rebuilding job that retains items that are in excellent shape, though in a complete
rebuilding these would normally be replaced. A complete job service list will be provided so the customer
always knows exactly what is going to be worked on.
Rebuilding - This rebuilding will bring the instrument back to almost new condition. Most parts are replaced.
The specific rebuilding options will be based on the piano, such as Uprights usually do not have pin blocks replaced.
Finish "Touch-Up" - Before you decide to have the piano refinished, we suggest examining the possibilities of
a complete finish reconditioning. Many customers would be surprised by the types of damage
that can be repaired without the need for a more costly complete refinishing job.
Refinishing - This service will restore the piano's case and sound board to near original finish - or
major changes can be made in the new finish for almost a completely different look.
Piano Moving - Pianos are usually a very heavy item to move, not
to mention the special considerations that need to be taken when moving a large instrument.
So whether your moving your instrument from one room to another, in state, or out of state give us a call for rates.
Appraisals - We provide a written estimate on the current market value of your piano, the repairs needed and their costs, and the
piano value if this work was completed. We also include some information on the piano manufacturer if possible.
Estimates - This is for an on-site estimate for repair work, moving, Refinishing, etc..
