Like
cars, with use, pianos require
periodical servicing. Again,
the amount of work required
is dependent upon the amount
the individual piano is being
used. For example, college
pianos and pianos owned by
professional pianists may
be played perhaps ten or twelve
hours a day and need regular
close attention.
In
its first few years,
servicing will be minimal
and will probably need
little more than a tune,
tone and check over.
Then as a piano gets
older, more work will
be necessary. Again
this is dependent on
the usage, but it is
a simple matter of wear
and tear until eventually
a piano will need to
be rebuilt.
