After an illustrated discussion of piano structure that explains the workings of both grand and upright pianos, the book gives careful advice for purchasing a new or used piano or player piano. Attention is given to important considerations such as price, tone, brand name recognition, construction, and consumer ratings. The book goes on to discuss the care and service of a piano, including detailed information about tuning, moving, repairs, and cleaning.
