We pride ourselves on fully restoring these classic pianos befitting the original makers intent of sound and touch keeping as much as the true piano as possible with no new soundboards or planks and keyboards. This restoration was this piano’s first in its life time and it gave us great joy to receive the piano in its original condition and for us to dismantle it and then have the joy of playing it for the first time after its restoration.
