Assessment
Condition and feasibility
We look at structure, tone, action wear, cabinet finish and the likely musical result before recommending a course of action.

What we help with
From cabinet care to full workshop planning
Some instruments need only selective work. Others merit a fuller restoration plan. We aim to keep that decision clear, proportionate and honest.
Workshop
Cabinet and finish work
Polishing, cosmetic improvement and sympathetic casework can often transform how an instrument sits in a room before major rebuilding is considered.
Planning
Phased restoration advice
If a piano needs staged work, we can outline the sensible order and help you decide what is worth doing now, later, or not at all.
When to ask us
Good candidates are not always the most obvious ones.
A family instrument, a piano with a strong scale design, or a piece that matters visually in a home may justify restoration even when it looks tired at first glance.
- The tone and touch still suggest a worthwhile instrument underneath the wear.
- The cabinet needs attention, but the piano has musical or sentimental value you want to preserve.
- You need an experienced second opinion before moving ahead with substantial repair work.
Next step
Send a few details first, then we can advise properly.
For restoration questions, an appointment or message is usually the quickest route to a sensible answer. Include the make, photographs and anything you know about recent work.
