When I was in my teens, my mother sent me to a piano factory as an apprentice. Under the guidance of my mother, I was once again admitted to China's higher music academy to learn piano and graduate from a famous master.
In the United States, steinway senior technicians and the early hands of a set of movement keyboard assembly technology hard work, deal with all kinds of circumstances of the piano and tune at one go, easy...
From spinet to concert grand ;From Yamaha, Steinway&Sons, Fazioli, Bösendorfer, Blüthner, Baldwin, Grotrian, Yong Chang , to Shigeru Kawai and so on, I can deal with even they were under the terrible conditions.
As a piano teacher , I not only repair an instrument, but also take care of my old friends to recover their enchanting sound lines!
Inspect, Inspect, Inspect
In closing, I’d like to remind you that your best protection against buyer’s remorse is having the piano inspected by a piano technician prior to purchasing it, particularly if the piano is more than ten years old. Sometimes it will be sufficient to speak to the seller’s technician about the piano, if he or she has serviced it regularly and has reason to believe that he or she will continue servicing it under your ownership. However, in most situations, you’ll be better off hiring your own technician.

Inspections Before purchasing a new or used piano, it is important to have a qualified piano technician perform a thorough inspection. The structural integrity of the piano and the condition of the action should be carefully examined.
(Cracks in the soundboard, cracks in the bridge, keyboard action, string condition--some pianos are not even worth the cost to move them.)
Reasons to consider a grand before an upright include: 1. Faster hammer action in a grand considering gravity which aids in the resetting of each note played, and 2. potentially longer bass strings for more robust low end.
Let me help you determine if the piano you are considering is a worthwhile investment.
