What does a restoration at Shaffer Pianos involve?
Shaffer Pianos only purchases pianos that are very restorable and in mostly original condition. We go through the entire piano from top to bottom and front to back. We apply a complete professional refinish to the case to provide a smooth mirror-like finish. We replace soundboards and pinblocks when they are beyond repair. The actions are totally rebuilt including the replacement of all necessary parts. All brass is polished or replated. We use only the highest quality parts and try to preserve as much historical integrity of the piano as possible. The pianos are regulated, voiced and tuned when they leave our shop.
