Rebuilding

I have been servicing pianos for nearly 40 years and am able to offer a full line of rebuilding and restoration services. I have rebuilt or restored hundreds of pianos. From action rebuilding to bellywork, I have done it all, and at some important venues. I am happy to bring this level of expertise to my work on your piano.

Rebuilding or restoration can make your old piano play and sound like a new one, and on high-quality instruments like Steinway or Mason & Hamlin, this can often be done at a fraction of the cost of a new, similar piano.  Our shop services include action rebuilding, restringing, pinblock replacement, and soundboard repair or replacement.

If you are thinking about having your old piano restored, I encourage you to arrange a visit to my workshop, where you can see pianos in the process of being rebuilt. In addition, I can provide a list of clients whose pianos I have recently rebuilt, and you can visit them to see and hear the results!
