BASIC PIANO REPAIR COURSE TOOLS From PIANOPHILE
This list shows the tools that I sell for the Basic Piano Repair course. I purchase them from PIANOPHILE in Brossard, Qc. You can visit their site but the prices will be much higher than you will pay through me because you do not have an account with them yet. After the course, you will be eligible to sign up for an account. The prices you pay me for these tools are the preferred technician prices.
If you are taking the course, look at the list and email me the tools you already have. Otherwise, I will bring you a complete set to purchase on the first day of classes.
BE SURE TO INFORM ME EARLY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE OPTIONAL SET AS WELL. Otherwise, I will only bring the basic set. The optional set makes repetative repairs, like those needed for rebuilding or reconditioning, easier. The basic set is good for single repairs.

OPTIONAL REPAIR TOOLS The above tools should be sufficient for one or two repairs of each type, but if you foresee doing many repetions of a repair, for example if you are planning to recondition a piano by replacing all the hammers, etc, then these tools will make those types of jobs easier. |
