Lee The only time I would take an upright, or even a grand, for that matter, is if the work that needs to be done?involved the case, like all new strings or case work. But for general action work, including new dampers, I would do the majority of the action work in my shop, and then schedule as much time as needed in the customer's home. I would rather have the customer pay me for work than the pay the movers.

When carrying out restoration work on just the action of an upright piano, how many of you take the whole piano back to the workshop? This was the general routine when I used to work for the shop.? They would include removal/delivery charges in the quote. This way, all work would be done in the shop and removers would take the piano back to customer when job was complete, no need for technician to attend. Those of you who do not take the piano away, when you return the action, how much time do you allocate for regulation at the customers home? ?
