You've had your piano for years. Maybe a decade. Maybe it came from a grandparent, or it's been in your living room so long it feels like furniture. This guide is written for you.
The Established Piano Owner's Guide is a 6-page printable PDF from Davis L. Moore, CPT — a Certified Piano Technician based in Greenwood, SC — covering everything a long-term piano owner needs to know about keeping, restoring, or retiring an aging instrument.
What's inside:
Reading the warning signs — buzzing sounds, notes that don't speak, tuning that won't hold, and what each one actually means
What years of humidity exposure does — a component-by-component breakdown of cumulative damage most owners never see coming
Repair vs. replace — the 50% Rule and how to think clearly about a piano that's showing its age
Regulation & voicing explained — why "my piano feels old" and "my piano sounds tired" are fixable problems, not permanent ones
Restoration scope — from a simple touch-up to a full rebuild, what each level of service includes
When it's time to retire a piano — honest signs it may be time, and how Moore's Retired Piano Program makes it easy
Getting a neglected piano back on track — the step-by-step process for pianos that haven't been serviced in years
FAQ — answers to the most common questions from long-time owners
Full service pricing — regulation, voicing, pitch raise, cleaning, Dampp-Chaser installation, and more
Instant download. Print at home or save to any device.
