Where
can I find a piano teacher?
PianoWorks has
teaching studios with degreed piano teachers
offering lessons to children and adults. If
our facility is not convenient we can give
you the names of teachers in your area. Many
are associated with the Georgia Music
Teachers Association or the Atlanta Suzuki
Piano Organization.
How
often should a piano be tuned?
Typically twice a
year. Many people mark their calendar to
schedule a tuning in the spring and in the
fall when temperature and humidity are
changing.
I like to keep my
windows open and avoid using the air
conditioning. Will this affect my piano?
Yes, this will most
likely mean your piano will need tuning more
frequently. It's important to remember that,
in our climate, the high humidity during the
spring and summer can affect the piano.
How soon can a
technician come to my home?
Our team of
technicians covers a wide geographic area,
so they usually book appointments
approximately two weeks in advance,
sometimes sooner. Also, it's important to
plan ahead for holiday periods as these are
very busy times for our technicians.
Are older pianos made
better than newer pianos?
Typically no,
because the basics of piano building over
the last century have not changed
drastically. If the older piano was once a
high level performance instrument and you
like the sound of that piano, it may be a
good choice for you. But keep in mind, the
older the piano, the more likely it will
need restoring as parts wear over time. The
question then becomes, is an older piano
worth the investment of time and money to
you? An alternative is to buy a new piano
with a reputation for superb quality, i.e.,
Bösendorfer and Schimmel, etc. These new
pianos come with factory warranties. Equally
important, while they reflect the best of
traditional piano building, these pianos
also incorporate the latest proven design
and materials technology.
Can the Pianomation
System be installed on my piano in my home?
No, because
installing the system requires the piano to
be turned on its side and involves a
multitude of tools and mechanical
adjustments, the piano must be brought into
our service shop. Please inquire for more
information!
Will adding a
Pianomation System compromise the
playability of my piano?
No. The mechanics of
this system do not affect the action and
playability. Once the player is turned off,
the piano can be played as usual.
What product should I
use to clean or polish my piano?
Specially made piano
cleaners and polishes are available at our
store. Do not use Pledge or any type of
window cleaner as doing so will damage the
finish on your piano.
Where can I find piano
accessories?
We have lamps for
grand pianos, benches, caster cups and a
variety of other accessories available.
Please inquire! |

The College of Music
at Florida State University has enjoyed the fine craftsmanship of PianoWorks for
quite a few years now. We have sent university pianos to Don Bennett and his
dedicated group of artisans for new soundboards, bridges, pinblocks, stringing
and case work. We have been particularly pleased with the tonal outcome of these
projects. We look forward to continuing our very successful relationship.

Many thanks for your
patience as I struggled with my decision to buy my 225 Bösendorfer. This
purchase has proven to be one of my better choices in life as I am experiencing
the absolute joy of this remarkable instrument. I appreciate my Bösendorfer,
more than ever, as I look forward to a lifetime of musical enjoyment!

I could not be more
pleased with the restoration of my 1953 Steinway D. Don and his team took an old
piano that was, essentially, on life support and not only resuscitated it, they
transformed it into a world class instrument.
