Industry Reviews
This was the very first book I used when starting my tuning & repair business and continues to be a valued reference book today. The third edition expands on Art's clarity and straightforwardness in presenting the material. -- Jim Fariss, RPT, MPT
Everyone from piano owner to advanced piano technician should have a copy of the third edition of the new Reblitz book. The new edition is an expanded version with updates on tuning and techniques. The tuning section includes more details for obtaining a perfect tuning. Repairing your own piano has never been easier with the expanded repair section, taking the guesswork out of piano repair. -- Don Teach, custom piano tool maker and former technician for touring musicians
Art Reblitz has such a humble, practical, encouraging way about him that directly translates to this book. I'm so pleased he has given us a new edition with a more usable table of contents, more in depth explanations and up-to-date products and methods we technicians use for repairs. A "go to" for the next generation. -- Laura Olsen, RPT, A Joyful Sound, Inc.
With valuable modernizing augmentations throughout, the third edition heartily welcomes piano technology into the 21st century. It is one of the most important tools in my kit, and I believe it will be for years to come. -- Skye Meadows Jenkins, pianist, technician, teacher, Alabama Piano Gallery
This much anticipated third edition of this classic provides excellent advice on inspecting a piano and diagnosing common action problems and is especially strong as a source of information on older pianos, particularly uprights. Focused on simplicity, the book lays a good foundation of knowledge without overwhelming a novice piano technician or ambitious amateur. Well-written and easy to understand, Piano Servicing, Tuning, and Rebuilding remains the most approachable manual on the topic today. -- Mario Igrec, RPT, M.Mus., Chief Piano Technician, The Juilliard School, author of Pianos Inside Out: A Comprehensive Guide to Piano Tuning, Repairing, and Rebuilding
This is a must-have book in every piano technician's library and an invaluable resource tool for anyone working on pianos. -- Chris Finger, Chris Finger Pianos
The cornucopia of information contained within is not only detailed with quality illustrations but also presented in a format that makes it understandable for students to follow. Every technician should have this powerful resource on their workbench! -- Robert R. Goodale, RPT, University Nevada, Las Vegas, School of Music
