This service is for those who have a piano of their own that they would like to have restored, whether it is a family heirloom to preserve for in home enjoyment, or an instrument intended for the concert stage I take on projects of all types and treat each instrument with my full attention. I strive in my restorations to respect the original intent of the maker and to preserve the authentic sound of the instrument. I achieve this by working almost solely in an 18th and 19th century paradigm. Most of the tools, techniques, and materials used in the workshop are based in historical practice. Materials such as felts and leathers are often produced here in the workshop using historic methods. The physical properties of these materials have a defining effect on the touch and tone of the instrument and felts and leathers of this quality can not be sourced commercially. Every original part that can be preserved is meticulously restored and where they are missing or too damaged to be put into optimal playing condition they are replaced with accurate reproductions. Original soundboards are always retained as this is the soul of the instrument and defines the tone quality and resonance in most cases more than any other part of the design.
