Replacing Hammers

Piano hammers are made out of felt and after years of use they can become very worn – so worn that they can no longer be effectively reshaped. When this happens the only possible repair is replacement of the hammers.

Replacing the hammers is a labor-intensive job and so it will be relatively expensive. Besides installing the hammers, the piano will need to be voiced and fully regulated. This means that either the piano is a quality instrument or has sentimental value for you to consider this investment.

  • New hammers provides an optimal foundation for precise piano regulation
  • The piano will be worth more
