Investing in a Steinway piano restoration is a big decision—even though typical piano restoration costs much less than a brand-new model. Naturally, many piano owners ask, “Is it really worth it?”
At Bradfield Piano, we’ve restored hundreds of Steinway pianos, and we can confidently say: the value—both emotional and financial—often far exceeds the investment. Whether your piano is a cherished family heirloom or a recent find, a proper steinway piano restoration can turn it into something beautifully unique and performance-ready. Here’s why restoration is often the right choice.
Restoring a Steinway isn’t just about repairing worn-out parts. It’s about preserving a piece of musical history. These instruments were built to last, using premium materials and craftsmanship that modern mass production simply can’t replicate.
A full, expert restoration can bring back the original tone, strength, and elegance of your piano—often making it feel like it just left the Steinway factory.
One of the most compelling reasons to restore is value retention. A well-restored vintage Steinway can maintain—or even increase—its value over time, especially when original-quality parts and methods are used.
While new pianos often depreciate, a restored Steinway becomes a long-term investment you can enjoy now and pass down for generations.
A vintage instrument holds a special quality not found in modern pianos: more than just the old-growth woods, hand-crafted frames, and hot-press using glue that no longer exists in today’s manufacturing processes.
Restoring the original parts when possible helps keep the character and soul of the instrument intact. That’s something you simply can’t buy new off the showroom floor.
At Bradfield Piano, no two restorations are alike. Every grand is carefully evaluated so we can develop a custom plan based on its age, structure, and musical characteristics.
From precise action regulation to hand-applied finishes, we tailor each detail to match your piano’s voice, style, and preferences. Choose from satin, high-gloss, or custom finishes to match your space.
