After months of quarantine and lockdown, Accutone Piano Service returns to limited operations tomorrow when these two beauties are returned to their owners. The upright, a 1910 Wegman, underwent full restoration and the installation of a new QRS PNOmation3 player system. The grand, a crisp and beautiful Pearl River, also had a QRS system installed. Here they play Beethoven's Turkish March in sync to celebrate our return to service and their return to home. Stay safe out there, everyone!
