The kind folks listed below have offered to give their advice for free but they are not necessarily actively involved in providing services to the general public. This is not to say that the other technicians listed at my site are unwilling to give free advice. On the contrary, most, if not all, are more than happy to help people solve minor adjustment and repair problems.

We're primarily piano rebuilders, but we also rebuild reed organs and repair players. If you visit our page, it'll give you some of the 50+ year history and a bit of an idea of what we do. We're hungry, not greedy. We've been giving free advice , with pleasure, over the web and in the shop for years. If we can add to your list, feel free to do so. By the way, we have already received referrals from you for advice over the past 6 months or so.
If we can help, use us. That's what it's all about.
