Whew! Who ever thought of painting this piano green?		The Process of Restoration Begun...

Rebuilding involves the extensive replacement of many parts of the piano, including a new pin block, new strings, new hammers, new dampers, etc. The finish sometimes is redone as well. The purpose of rebuilding is to bring the piano back to a like-new condition. Rebuilding differs from reconditioning in that a reconditioned piano keeps any old parts which are still in working condition. Projects such as these take a fair amount of time (3-12 months). I would be happy to discuss the process with you if you have a piano that you think is a good candidate for such restorative work. Many fine old pianos exist, but of course there are a lot of pianos that do not justify the expense of rebuilding.In cases where a complete rebuild is not justified basic repairs can usually be made to make the instrument playable without spending a huge sum of money.
