    This piano is finished in Steinway black satin lacquer. The piano was stripped, repaired, filled and sanded. Then, miltiple coats of lacquer were put on and sanded down resulting in the beautiful classic finish


    Solid brass nameboard lettering added


    nickel plated hardware

    Nickel was the original material used for the hardware on this piano. The hardware was removed, the old plating removed and all new very high quality polished nickel plating was put back on all the hardware.



    New Soundboard & Bridge Caps

    Nothing like a new Sitka spruce soundboard to fully restore the pianos fullness and the power of sound. Much better than a tired old (saved)soundboard. Looks much better too!




    New Pinblock

    Only the finest quarter sawn maple pinblock used. Perfect for older Steinways
    This repair will last like new.
