Piano Polishing
We repolish nearly every piano we restore, believing that it should not only be inside workings of the instrument that be subtly restored, but the case should be sympathetically restored too. What do we mean by the use of the word “sympathetically”? These pianos where hand built during the ‘golden age’ of piano manufacture at the turn of the century: literally hand built by craftsmen of the day. They have seen a great life over that period and deserve to be looked at in that respect: treated with respect. We could sand or fill every blemish or knock. We could build up a high gloss finish. We could use modern shiny finishes: but we don’t. Would you buy a classic car and paint it cherry pink with layers of gloss? No. Then why would we do that to a piano?
