| Restoration All unrestored pianos are carefully assessed prior to restoration to ensure a project is going to prove worthwhile and an instrument can be returned to its highest musical quality and polished appearance for another generation. The Company's range of work typically covers restoring late nineteenth century iron frame grand and upright pianos to modern instruments built in the 1950's. We have many years experience in the restoration of the finest makes in the world including Bechstein, Bluthner and Steinway.
Andrew has often viewed quality pianos which clients have thought are at the end of their life due to known structural defects such as tuning pin block, or cast iron frame failure. Fortunately through the versatility and experience of the workshop these faults are readily restorable to the clients amazement, and their precious heirloom returned to a fine piano for future generations.
We believe that many of the wonderful turn of the century German and English pianos should be restored, if at all possible, to conserve a period of piano building history in the 'Golden age' which we will never see again. Relevant to this period is the special quality of piano tone and the many fascinating examples of decorative and notably rosewood casework.
