Piano Restoration

Boston piano refinishing

My studio is an artisan workshop where I hand build custom pianos. Since I work on a single major restoration at a time, your project gets my full and undivided attention.

The client is part of the project team before, during and after the project. My project proposals are thorough and detailed… projects flow smoothly… the work is warranted and backed by cheerful service.

The Restoration Process

My service starts with a Consultation to define the client's preferred piano Tone and Touch. (See Your Ideal Piano for a complete explanation.)

The following items are often included in the restoration process:
