Are PianoGrands instruments restored?
We bring our pianos carefully and sensitively back to a condition where they can be enjoyed by their new owners. This involves making well informed decisions about what must be replaced or repaired and with what techniques and materials. Unlike some “restorations,” this does not mean modernizing! This means using the best available historic reproduction wire, hammer materials, wool cloths, leathers and other materials where necessary. Finishes are restored to their original condition using French polish, hand rubbed varnish or lacquer as appropriate. Unlike scrubbing the patina off your Tiffany lamp, a quality piano restoration increases the value of the instrument.
