Restored Steinway & Bluthner & Other Grand Pianos
Explore our selection of reconditioned Steinway & Bosendorfer grand pianos, meticulously restored to the highest standards in our workshop. Each of our restored pianos is treated with care and respect, using traditional materials that honor the craftsmanship of these iconic instruments. We invite you to visit our showroom to experience the quality for yourself.
Our restoration process involves removing the frame and carefully stripping and refinishing the soundboard. We do not replace soundboards; our focus is on preserving the authentic character of Steinways from the golden age of their manufacturing. We take pride in using traditional materials, particularly for the soundboard and casework. Our soundboards are finished with classic varnishes rather than modern spray materials. To highlight the exquisite hardwood veneers, we employ traditional French polishing techniques, which, while time-consuming, result in stunning warm tones that enhance the beauty of each piano
