Piano Care Guide
Restore or Replace? Making the Call
An honest framework for deciding whether an old piano is worth rebuilding.
Restore or Replace? Making the Call
Start with the case and scale design. A quality instrument from a respected maker justifies rebuilding; a mass-market spinet almost never does.
Sentimental value is a legitimate reason to restore, and we will say so plainly rather than talk you out of it.
Partial restoration is often the right compromise: new hammers and regulation transform playability at a fraction of a full rebuild.
We provide a condition report with photos so the decision rests on evidence rather than guesswork.
