Im looking to service both my Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer and am based in London ... looking to straighten out many small issues with action, dampening, voicing, among other things etc ...

I have noticed that a lot of the well-known companies have mixed reviews online, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable and highly qualified company or tech for the job? I've had mediocre work done in the past, but at this point I want both to sound and feel incredible.

Please help if you can!
Thanks

Hi

Please could someone tell me what song is being played on this wurly - first song in the video ...

Thank you

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

I lifted the lid as instructed and can see how the sustain mechanism is not functioning properly (see video 1)

It is clear that the right side of the sustain mechanism is not lifting as well as the left side (see video 2)

I tried adjusting the gap at the back of the dampers between the adjusting screw and the grommet, but it did not help solve the issue - the issue seems more connected to the lifting action of the sustain in my opinion, but please have a look at the video and let me know what you think.

I wanted to try adjusting the damper connecting rod on the underside to see if that helped but unfortunately I do not currently have the right nut driver to get into the gap.

Let me know what you think I should try next

Hi!

I just recently bought a Wurlitzer 200A and overall its sounding pretty nice - but there are still a few problems that need fixing ...

The problems I currently have seem to be related to the sustain pedal and overall action of the keys. The problems are outlined below and I have provided a video for each to facilitate diagnosis:

1. Some of the keys do not sustain when the pedal is down (problematic keys can been seen in the video 1)

2. The highest notes are always sustained, even when sustain pedal is not down (Seen in video 2)

3. When the sustain pedal is applied, all of the keys on the entire keyboard shift downwards slightly (as demonstrated in video 3)
    which affects the way you have to play the instrument. With just the lightest pressure from a finger the keys shift down which
    seems odd to me. It also feels like one has to hit the keys much harder to get a good sound out of the instrument while using
    sustain VS not using sustain ... I think these two problems are related --> is this normal?

Apologies if there are already posts with similar queries. Also, apologies if these questions seem trivial - I am new to electric pianos but am keen to start solving my own issues rather than relying on technicians fixing them for me.

Thank you in advance!
