Piano Restoration Leinster | From Basic to Complex

Piano restoration is ideal for those who wish to bring a family heirloom back to it's former glory, or because they would like to preserve a well made instrument by a reputable piano maker. Sometimes, no matter how sympathetically attached a person may be, if the piano is made by a poor quality maker, or if it has issues such as an inability to remain in tune, then it should not be restored. No amount of restoration and reconditioning can improve the quality of a piano that is beyond the point of no return. It is only worth investing money in preserving a piano that already looks and sounds reasonably well. We provide two types of restoration: Basic Refurbishment (€900) Upright Pianos Only The piano is professionally removed from your Leinster location free of charge providing it is on a ground floor. Unfortunately we don't remove where staircases are involved. Piano is brought to our Wexford workshop where it undergoes a basic refurbishment. Details of this process are found on our website: https://obriainpianogallery.com/collections/piano-restoration Simple to Complex Restoration (€2,500 to €10,000) Upright & Grand Pianos Piano restoration and reconditioning involves replacing worn felt, leather, springs and centre pins in the piano’s action along with a thorough cleaning of everything else. Sometimes a piano requires a bit more tender loving care. A full restoration or rebuild would generally involve replacing the tuning pins and strings of the piano, re-gilding the frame, possibly replacing the wrest plank too if necessary. Soundboards can sometimes split, bridges may come adrift or split too and on occasion the cast iron frame may have cracked and need repairing. This requires a lot more work, time and investment and so would only be worthwhile on a top quality instrument.
