Estimates
Our estimates and consultations are always free of charge. It is impossible to know just how much work an instrument requires without an in-person estimate. Following a brief evaluation of your instrument we will let you know what to expect at various levels of service from the most basic setup to a complete overhaul. If you have a specific budget we will always make sure to prioritize our repairs in order to give you the best value possible.

The “Sweet Spot” and “Top Shelf”
For most Clavinets the “Sweet Spot” for services usually falls between between a partial and complete restoration. Prioritization of services for a partial restoration depends on an evaluation of the instrument in order to give our services a more solid seal of approval. Our“Top Shelf” includes a complete restoration of the instrument including all new strings, yarn, hammer tips, and electronics servicing/upgrades.
Pianet Services
Pianet services include the most simple setups and tuning to a thorough overhaul of the instrument. Time frames and what we consider the “Sweet Spot” varies depending on the model of the Pianet and its condition.
