WHY REBUILD VINTAGE PIANOS ?
From the 1880's, pianos were very much in demand.
The industry became very competitive, with a determination for quality and longevity. Emerging from this high standard came the world’s greatest pianos. To this day, most expensive pianos are still made in the traditional way: handcrafted with solid wood, fine veneers, lacquer finishes, and precision quality parts.
During the depression, sales of manufactured goods, such as cars, radios, and pianos dropped dramatically and so did quality of these products. Manufacturers suffered huge losses and had to be much more competitive to stay in business. With the advent of World War II the piano industry was damaged even further.
LIKE NEW
Pianos that were constructed before the depression era can be restored and made like new, both mechanically and cosmetically. Lacquer, unlike the tough polyester finishes of today’s pianos, can be stripped and successfully refinished. Spruce sound boards and bridges can easily be repaired or replaced. New original action parts of most known brands are available. A skilled technician can re-assemble, fine regulate and voice the piano to achieve perfection. If all components are properly addressed you can achieve the re-birth of a great classic piano.
