The movement discussed above not only affects the ‘sound' produced by the strings, but also the ‘performance' of the entire action, keyboard and pedal movements on any piano. The age of the instrument and prior maintenance practices will also have a bearing on how it performs. Each key requires several actions to take place between your touch and the moment the hammer strikes the string. To perform optimally, each key and all the action parts between it and the string must be in ‘regulation', or working as a team.

Will the piano sit on carpet or on bare wood? In either case you will want to protect them with either a set of castor cups or special castors having the proper material, hard or soft, for your needs. Either of these can be supplied and installed by your technician and he or she will advise which type is proper for you.
