I check and attend all action parts for wear, breaks, looseness or incorrect alignments and advise a plan to remedy. All Felts: Hammer head felts, Hammer rail felts, Hammer butt felts, Check felts, Whippen felts, Dampers etc All Leathers: All Hammer Butt and Check leathers etc All Axles and Flanges : All Springs: "Damper Return Springs" can unseat or break or bend , Repetition or butt Springs can also unseat or break Also the repetition springs "holder cords" can be broken and require replacing . Escapement "Jack" return springs can unseat or break, Bridle tapes vital in proper hammer return can be broken and often require replacement.

LOST MOTION Pianos wear with use and so in time you may find when you push a key down lightly, there develops "take-up slack" 2mm to 5mm can be pushed down before you feel a " take-up " of the action and the hammer actually feels like it is now travelling towards the string. This "lost motion" feels like your not on even ground, as it varies from key to key. Some call it a double touch. This needs to be regulated back to instant touch, for optimal response and even ( level ) playability. This regulation of lost motion costs from approx $75 to around $150 depending on the piano.

KEYS Key can need attention where they become either tight ( requires easing ) or loose ( requires tightening ) to the keys. Keys have felts and sometimes leather in them and felts and papers underneath in the "key bed". With time and use the felt and leather bushings and punching compress so losing their level and making playing unpleasant
