Very rarely would one go to the trouble to replace used parts with other used parts. Piano parts rarely break so much as they wear over time, functioning less well than they did when they were new. Replacing a set of parts new or used requires much labor. The parts are not only installed, but aligned, and regulated. If this much work is going to be invested it usually makes more sense to invest in new parts rather than replacing badly worn parts with partially worn parts.
After 50 plus years being used in a University practice room the piano was being replaced by a new instrument. Because there is no elevator in the building the cost of moving the piano down the stairs was greater than the value of the instrument so it was decided to dismantle it and reomove if from the building in pieces.
nice video very nourishing thanx
I'm glad you liked it.
very informative, thank you!
Also, I am still wondering, do the parts from an old piano ever get reused to repair or refurbish other pianos?
