RESTORATION, REPAIRS & WHY IT MATTERS

Many owners choose restoration because:

• It can often be cheaper than buying a new premium piano

• Restored instruments often sound better than new ones.

• You keep the tone, feel and history of your piano intact

• You preserve a family heirloom for future generations

• Your love for the piano sound has been formed by your own piano, making your piano always a great piano for you…

• It's saving wood and trees and preserving the planet's resources by keeping the old… Selling a piano rarely reflects its true value — but restoration can bring it back to life beautifully.

• Repair damage, ageing and worn mechanisms

• Refinish the cabinet to look like new
