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.

  • Replacement hammer sets

    It is often desirable to recondition existing hammers as this is a much cheaper option. But sometimes this is not possible, or it is more desirable to have a complete set of new hammers fitted – for example, if you are a very advanced pianist or have a very valuable piano which receives a lot of playing. If you have concerns about your piano hammers, We will then discuss the possible options with you in a relaxed and friendly manner – there will be no pressure on you to chose one option or another, only advice and guidance and the final choice is 100% up to you.

  • Replacing tapes, springs, felts & cloths

    All parts of a well-played piano will become subject to some wear. Over time and use parts such as felts, springs and tapes will need replacing.

This organization was by far one of the best companies I engaged with in a number of years. Highly professional, highly organised and extremely on point. Can't recommend them enough, their process from start to finish is something they should be very proud off.
