Our Piano Restoration Process
Initial Assessment & Consultation
We begin by assessing the current condition of your piano. This includes checking structural integrity, evaluating action mechanics, inspecting strings and tuning pins, checking the condition of the soundboard and bridges, and assessing the finish. A detailed written quotation is provided before any work commences.
Structural Repairs & Sound Quality Restoration
Structural concerns—such as soundboard cracks, loose braces, or pin block damage—are addressed first. We use high quality materials and luthier‐standard glues. Restoration of the soundboard and sound frame ensures optimal acoustic performance.
Action Regulation & Tuning
A restored piano isn't complete until the action is regulated—key height, hammer alignment, touch weight—and tuned to perfection. Stretching in the strings, pitch adjustment, and subtle voicing are all handled carefully to deliver rich, balanced tone.
Finishing Touches & Aesthetic Restoration
Refinishing, polishing, or re‐veneering woodwork restores the instrument’s visual appeal. We also restore pedals, hardware, and keyboards, and ensure the cabinetry looks as good as the sound.
