Key Reconditioning Features:

1. New Loop Cords The piano's action has been meticulously restored with new loop cords, ensuring optimal performance and response. This upgrade guarantees smooth key action, allowing for better control and more precise touch, which is essential for both practice and performance.
2. New Key Bushings We have replaced the key bushings with new, high-quality materials that restore the smoothness of the keyboard action. These key bushings reduce friction, ensuring that each key operates quietly and efficiently, contributing to an even and responsive touch. 
3. Action Tapes The action tapes have been replaced to enhance the precision and consistency of the piano's action. This upgrade improves the feel and functionality of the instrument, resulting in a more responsive touch across all registers of the keyboard. 
4. New Key Tops The key tops have been replaced with durable, high-quality materials, providing a clean and polished look. This not only improves the aesthetic appeal of the piano but also ensures a more comfortable playing experience for musicians, with keys that feel smooth and even under the fingers. 
5. Practice Rail Felt To improve the overall sound dynamics and functionality, the practice rail felt has been replaced. This important feature aids in achieving a more controlled and muted sound when practicing, which is especially useful for environments where quiet practice is necessary. 
6. Re-faced Hammers The piano's hammers have been re-faced to restore their shape and enhance their sound-producing capabilities. This re-facing ensures that the hammer surfaces make optimal contact with the strings, improving tonal clarity and precision across the entire range of the instrument. 
7. Cleaned Action The action has been thoroughly cleaned and lubricated to ensure that all moving parts operate smoothly. This deep cleaning process eliminates any build-up of dust and debris, contributing to a quieter, more responsive action and a longer-lasting performance. 
8. Cleaned Keyboard Bed The keyboard bed has been cleaned and maintained to a high standard, ensuring proper key alignment and preventing any interference with the piano's delicate internal mechanism. This contributes to an overall enhanced playing experience and longevity of the instrument. 
9. Polished Cabinet The polished ebony finish has been meticulously cleaned and polished to a high gloss, restoring the piano’s original luster. The cabinet exudes sophistication, making it an impressive addition to any room, while offering the durability and elegance that Yamaha is known for.
