Restoration

Piano restoration is ideal for those who wish to bring a family heirloom back to it's former glory, or because they would like to preserve a quality instrument by a reputable maker.

Sometimes, no matter how sympathetically attached a person may be, if the piano is made by a poor quality maker, or if it has issues such as an inability to remain in tune, then it should not be restored. No amount of restoration and reconditioning can improve the quality of a piano that is beyond the point of no return. It is only worth investing money in preserving a piano that already sounds reasonably well.

Here are the types of restoration we provide:

Cabinet Restoration: Piano is collected from your location (ground floor only) and brought to a workshop in Waterford. The case is stripped back and professionally refinished (Silk, Matt, Satin, Semi gloss etc.) to your choice of finish. Brassworks are refinished and keys are cleaned. Piano is delivered back to you. Collection and delivery is included in the price. We don't restore semi-concert or concert grand pianos (7'0" to 9'0").

Note: Cabinet restoration does not include internal work. It is purely for aesthetics.
