Piano Restoration Can Include
Soundboard repairs
The soundboard is an important and integral part of the piano. The resonance of the soundboard is a major governing factor of the tonal quality of the instrument.
Complete re-string
Completely re-stringing a piano is fairly lengthy and involved process. A piano has between 220 and 240 strings (depending on the make and model of piano) and once these are all loosened, each of their diameters must be measured – individually and accurately
Pinblock replacements
Pianos are tuned by turning tuning pins, and each tuning pin is mounted in a block of wood called the pinblock. Pinblocks are extremely important as they grip and turn pins tightly so the piano doesn’t go out of tune.
Cabinet refinishes & French polishing
Over time, damage to your piano is inevitable, from knocks and bangs, direct sunlight, temperature changes and more. Whether your piano is suffering from cracks and splits or faded colour, this can significantly affect the appearance. French polishing your instrument can drastically improve the aesthetic beauty of your instrument. Cabinet restoration or piano refinishing refers to the exterior non-mechanical part of a piano where wood finishing and repair is usually addressed.
