Why Rebuild a Steinway Piano?
With an excess of 10,000 moving parts, over time and use, the choice to rebuild a piano will bring it back to its original standard and ensure the instrument's longevity.
The instrument: A quality rebuild not only restores functionality to modern performance standards, but ensures the retention of its iconic tonal quality.
The cabinet: Any knocks or scratches, loose mouldings or carvings are attended to. Cabinet is repolished to its original splendour.
