Capabilities
While we are known by the phrase:
"Restoring the Unrestorable" we much prefer to restore those
instruments that have been given loving care all their lives.
These cared-for instruments are capable of better
results than one that has been in a chicken coop for 50
years.
- Soundboard
recrowning
We are one of the few shops that even
know recrowning of the soundboard is possible. Other shops will
tell you it cannot be done. They will charge you an extra
$2,000 to $8,000 to replace the soundboard with a new one.
Would that same shop restore a Stradivarius Violin by throwing
it out and building a new one? I think not. Then don't replace
a piano's soundboard.
- We refinish
the wooden pieces of the spoolbox as
well as the case.
- Our Brass looks
new
We have one of the finest platers in
the county who plates our hardware. If they are brass they are
polished to a mirror finish. I have fired many platers. He is
the best.
Drawbacks of our shop
doing your instrument:
The top quality work is not fast. We do
have a backlog. If you want a full restoration in a
couple months you are out of luck. Restoration takes 6
months to 2 years depending on the unit being restored. A
few take longer. But the results are worth the wait
according to our customers.
