Flat hammers can be very dangerous for a piano, and sound less than satisfying. Here is a side by side comparison on a nice little studio we serviced for @trimblehousenash -Nashville artists retreat studio. They acquired a one-family-owner 1931 Bradbury studio piano that needed a little maintenance, but was otherwise in excellent condition. Flat hammers are the result of excessive or years-long play without proper maintenance. The sound of the piano is no longer crisp and light, but rather duddy and lifeless. The deep grooving of the hammer felt caused by the strings can eventually deteriorate and break apart, remedied then only by replacing the full set of hammers. To prevent that costly job, hammers should be filed down and rounded back out. These hammers now have quite a few years left on them. #amopianos #trimblehouse #trimblehousenashville #beforeandafter #hammershaping #pianohammers #flathammers #partsofapiano #pianomaintenance #maintenance #filing #piano #nashville #nashvilletn #wood #metal #felt #antiquepiano #1931 #vintagepiano #antique #vintage #hammers #picoftheday

#Beware the "good condition, just hasn't been played in years" piano! Inactivity gives mice and other critters prime opportunity to set up residence under the keys. This particular piano had a quarter of a bag of rice and a good size pecan half, as well as nearly a half inch of dust! 😱 Due to this and other factors, this is going to be a Parts&Project Piano. #amopianos #pianocleaners #piano #cleaning #pianohammers #pianokeys #inactivity #elbowgrease #downanddirty #picoftheday #partsandprojects #partsofapiano #brown #tan #wood #blue #grey #dusty

A piano action in action. From a console piano. I'm in the process of learning what all the working parts are called. Hammers, dampers, and wippens. I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty. I've got whooz-its and whatz-its galore. You want thingamabobs? I got twenty! But who cares? No big deal, I want mooooooore!
