Our Restoration & Rebuilding Facility

  • PianoCraft is one of a handful of piano dealers that has a comprehensive in-house piano rebuilding and restoration facility. It is the heart and soul of PianoCraft.
  • Our restoration work connects us with the history and traditions of 19th and early 20th century piano manufacturing while informing the choices of pianos we offer for sale.
  • With the expertise of our craftspeople, our in-house rebuilding and restoration facility benefits and supports every PianoCraft piano and client.
  • When you visit PianoCraft, you can tour our shop and see pianos from every era at various stages of completion. It is the best way to understand important differences in pianos and help you make a more informed decision about your own piano.
  • PianoCraft’s in-house shop uses the finest materials and the highest quality craftsmanship. All phases of restoration can be done at PianoCraft including cabinet refinishing, soundboard creation and replacement, soundboard restoration, and action work.
  • To achieve predictably superior results we accept a limited number of rebuilds each year, allowing us to devote more labor hours to each rebuild — more than other reputable shops and more than top-tier new piano manufacturers.
  • PianoCraft is renowned for its unique expertise in rebuilding Steinway Concert Grands. PianoCraft-rebuilt Steinway Concert Grands can be found in concert halls, recording studios, and homes on 4 different continents.
  • Although Steinway restorations make up the bulk of our work, particularly Steinway Model Bs, As, Cs, and Ds (Hamburg and New York), PianoCraft has restored pianos from almost every manufacturer and period of time.
  • While we know you will love your piano after it has been restored by PianoCraft, if you prefer another piano in our inventory, 100% of what you spent on your PianoCraft rebuild plus its wholesale value will be applied towards your purchase.*
