Many of the items mentioned so far are cosmetic.

However one of the biggest items in a superior overhaul is not cosmetic at all. It is attending to a diverse range of mechanical issues that need attention. These are fundamental to a good 'feel' in the action, and to long-term reliability. They are the foundation infrastructure that keeps an instrument playing well. They are often overlooked by players because to elaborate on what they can include, would be make a very long list indeed. Even to explain some of them to the lay person can be a challenge. they are in the arsenal of a true professional repair technician.

The good technician is the one who attends thoroughly to this aspect of servicing.

Probably the only way to compare or evaluate technicians in this area is to check out their reputation for impressive and reliable work with WELL-established local accomplished players and teachers.
