Frequently-Asked Questions

Is my piano worth being restored?

Yes! That is, if you cherish your player piano as a family heirloom. Nearly every player piano I restore comes from a family who has owned the instrument for generations and plans to keep the piano in the family. I generally do not restore pianos for resale.

Can my piano be restored?

Whenever I hear this question, an old joke comes to mind: "As long as the piano casts a shadow, you can restore it!" I have yet to run into a piano that was unrestorable. Generally, the deciding factor is whether or not the scope of the project is within your budget.

What will it cost? 

Restoration projects typically cost anywhere between $15,000 and $25,000. Factors like the piano's design, repair history, and scope of the project will affect this range. If you would like to discuss the estimate process, please don't hesitate to reach out.

How long does it take?

I have an approximately 2-year-long backlog. I am a one-person shop and operate with a one-in-one-out policy for projects. Once a project is delivered to the shop, it generally takes about 3 months to complete.

Do you sell materials or parts?

No. Since we're a one-person operation, I do not have the capacity to offer parts or restoration materials wholesale.
