Once the piano is disassembled, an inner frame inspection takes place and the ordering of needed parts begins. The old finish is hand stripped and washed in preparation for grain filling, sealing, and lacquering. At this time the soundboard and pinblock markings and measurements can be taken. Action work begins with new keytops and bushings. Hammers, shanks, flanges and wippens are installed.

It is a most rewarding job. It allows the opportunity to bring to life the internal beauty and sound of the piano. Our hand rubbed lacquer finish allows subtle elegance, rather than the high gloss appearance of some of the trendy finishes web site designed and hosted by ICN Consulting Corp.
