We will be asking somewhere in the $15,000 vicinity for the piano when done. The piano is in our factory in Peekskill, New York, 35 miles north of Manhattan and can be heard after completion.

We have a 10 year warranty on the piano, but the piano will last for generations with the proper care.

I have an almost identical piano with an Style “A” Ampico reproducing mechanism, 1929.

The piano is all original and the player part worked up until 2 years ago when I had to move the piano and packed it into a grand piano cover.

If I delivered and picked up the piano, how much would you estimate to completely rebuild the piano and recover the main stack in the player mechanism?

I was last recovered about 35 years ago and I recovered the rest of the pneumatics and replaced all the hoses.

The pin block holds but I fear is not going to last much longer.

Plate is not cracked and soundboard is in good shape, no cracks.

Same style and finish as the instrument you are working on in the pictures.

To replace the pin block and the treble bridge cap ( it might need it ), including new strings, pins, sounding board repairs, plate re-bronzing, new under stringing felts and down bearing re-setting would cost $5,000.00. It is probable that we would need to replace the hammers and do some key work along with complete regulating and voicing to make the action like new, costing another $5,000.00. The stack is not so easy to estimate as we might need to replace the pouches. Also, we would need to make sure every expression pneumatic is calibrated properly, the tracker bar is tracking right and that the player is functioning optimally. It is likely that the player work could cost between $2,500.00 and $5,000.00. We would include cleaning the hardware and French polishing the case. Although you offered to pick up and deliver we can get that done reasonably if necessary. Please feel free to call or e-mail any questions. Thanks,
John Ford

Generalmente cuesta $5.000 (EEUU) por sección para reedificar un piano de cola. Hay tres secciones: la sección de cuerdas, la sección de acción y la sección de caso. El coste total es $15.000 (EEUU). Si debemos reemplazar la tabla que suena hay un coste adicional de $2.500 (EEUU). Si debemos reemplazar las zancas y los rebordes, las repeticiones y bujes clave que hay un coste adicional de $2.500 (EEUU). Siéntase libre contactarnos para más información.
