Rebuilding and
restoring a piano takes time, patience and professional expertise.
Usually, many of the strings, dowels, bridges & keys have to
be replaced or repaired. Each & every component is important.
One piano I was
asked to rebuild was a 1904 E. G. Harrington & Company upright.
The owners from
Vermont moved to the Boston area and left the piano in a barn
in Colchester. I was called to see if it could be fixed and
kept in the family. It has very ornate wood designs on it and
after examing it I told them it would take a lot of work.
After bringing
it to my studio, I disassembled it, taking off the keys & cleaning
the wood and replacing the ivories. I had to replace most of
the felts on the action and fixed many of the broken parts.
I cleaned the
cabinet and replaced the felts for it. I removed the "old"
finish and stained it again. Then I had to reassemble the piano.
People can once
again enjoy hearing this wonderful 1904 piano when it is played.
