Frequently Asked Questions

While expertly refurbished, expect minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with a piano of this vintage; these are often part of the charm, but the core mechanical components are restored to high working order.
The 1976 M-170 possesses a warmer, more mature tone than a contemporary model, often favored for its nuanced dynamics and character – a hallmark of instruments from that era.
Older pianos often require more frequent tuning than newer ones, but a skilled technician can stabilize the tuning with proper voicing and regulation; ongoing maintenance is key.
