Pianotech

I have a customer of mine who is an older lady..  She had a technician come out a year ago to replace the keytops on her 1920's Steinway M..  He took the keys, keyframe, and her money, and left the action!!  It's been over a year now and the tech is nowhere to be found..  So now here I am trying to find a used keyframe with keys.  My customer is on a fixed income with really not much money to work with..  I'm doing this just to help her out and prove that not every piano technician is a bad person out to screw people over!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Please call/email anytime.
Thanks,
John

You'd probably be in better shape if she took some of that little money she has and hired a detective.  Did she pay him in cash?  Does she have his (purported) name written down anywhere?  She had to have had some referral to him.

Hi, JOhn:
I can't help you with the keys/keyframe, but are you sure you want to get involved? You may be doing a lot of work for free.. Steinway actions are individually fitted, and even if you got someone with a set of keys, you will probably will have a very difficult time making it work. If this were a Yamaha, it might be a different story. You could have another keyframe made and set of keys, but going from there to a finished action that will regulate is a ton of work, worth many thousands of dollars. You might be better off finding a Private Investigator to find this guy.
Good luck.

And/or a hit man. Posting his name might turn up some information, but
unfortunately, these creatures have rights.

Is there a class being given on drones as a business tool at Atlanta?
