Early Piano Restoration

When a piano is brought to our shop the first step is to clean the piano in its entirety using the approach of a restorer. Our goal is not to dismantle the piano, but to study it in order to understand the logic of the restoration process.  Throughout the restoration of the piano, we use glues, leathers, and felts, similar to those materials used by the  early builder. While we meticulously replace those parts which have deteriorated, we take care to save all the replaced parts and store them with the piano for future reference.
