PIANO RESTORATION
Piano Restoration
Bring your cherished family heirloom back to its original showroom glory. We manage the highly specialized logistics of transporting your fragile instrument and connect you directly with the East Coast's most elite, master-level piano rebuilders and refinishers.
Bringing Heirlooms Back to Life
A full piano restoration goes far beyond basic tuning or minor cosmetic touch-ups. It is a comprehensive resurrection of a complex mechanical instrument. The process involves completely rebuilding the intricate action mechanism, replacing the dense wooden pinblock, restringing the entire cast-iron harp with custom-gauged wire, repairing or replacing the delicate spruce soundboard, and meticulously refinishing the exterior cabinet to its original showroom glory. It is a labor of love that requires hundreds of hours of dedicated master craftsmanship to ensure the instrument sounds and plays as beautifully as the day it was built.
Our Trusted Restoration Network
Just as we dedicate ourselves entirely to the art of moving, we partner exclusively with artisans who dedicate their lives entirely to rebuilding. The number of true, master-level piano restorers on the East Coast is incredibly small. Over the last 30 years, we have built close, trusted relationships with these premier rebuilders. When you entrust your family heirloom to our network, you are guaranteed an introduction to proven experts who possess the rare skills required for museum-quality restoration.
The Logistics of Rebuilding
A complete restoration often requires transporting your fragile, invaluable piano to a specialized workshop, often for several months. Gohn's handles the most nerve-wracking part of this journey: the logistics. We manage the delicate initial extraction from your home, safely transport the instrument in our climate-controlled fleet to the rebuilder's shop, and provide the triumphant, white-glove return delivery once the masterpiece is complete. We ensure the chain of custody is completely secure from start to finish.
Evaluating the Investment
Clients frequently ask us: 'Is my piano actually worth the cost of rebuilding?' The answer depends on two factors: market value and sentimental value. While vintage 'Golden Age' Steinways, Mason & Hamlins, and select European grand pianos hold immense post-restoration monetary value that often exceeds the cost of the work, other family pianos hold deep sentimental worth that transcends simple economics. We can connect you with independent, certified appraisers to help you make a fully informed, pressure-free financial decision.
