There is much to know and aspire to when working on the world's finest pianos. It is a constant effort to achieve the best, most musical results. Many people who do this work lack the knowledge or experience to complete the job. By complete, we mean simply to ask, "Can an accomplished pianist sit down and play effortlessly, be satisfied and even moved by the tone –forgetting where they are for a moment as they discover the musical and emotional possibilities of the piano that has just been restored?"
We have had much success over the years. Most of our people have been with us for many years doing the very best at our craft and enjoying the appreciation of the artists and families who have entrusted us with their cherished and valuable pianos. Some of these you can find in this web site and others are included in our list of referrals. These instruments have become members, in a way, of our family. Remember, many of these pianos were last worked on over 100 years ago with the original bench marks (signatures) beautifully scripted within the inner working actions of these magnificent examples of American and European craftsmanship. We approach them and work on them with the respect they and you deserve.
