In terms of major restoration work, the replacement of a Pin Block in an upright piano is perhaps the most ambitious task a rebuilder will ever undertake. The photos below may give you some idea of the complexity of the job. Bear in mind that the new pin block is twice as thick as the original one, and instead of just three layers of laminations, there are seventeen layers in the new block. |

Some very kind words from the owner:
"John Tuttle is a not only master rebuilder, but is one of the most
conscientious and ethical individuals I have ever met. When he first
"examined" my 1914 Wurlitzer Style I nickelodeon, I had already expended
much energy -- and quite a bit of money -- in attempting to breathe life
into "Charles" (as later Christened by John). After seeing the Player-Care
website, I knew I had fortuitously found who I was looking for; someone
with the skills and dedication to get the job done, who obviously loved what
he did and happily shared his knowledge with others, as evidenced by his
website. I waited until he had an opening, and when he did, John traveled
many miles to my home to evaluate the piano, and shortly thereafter I
shipped it to his workshop. What returned was nothing short of a miracle; an
instrument playing so brightly and beautifully that it brought tears to my
eyes (well, actually, I cried like a baby!) It was truly a rebirth, made
possible by the dedication of John and Pandora Tuttle." Signed: Cheryl Podolsky |

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message. |
