The Piano Restoration PROCESS
Piano restoration involves much more than just surface-level touch-ups. At Bradfield Piano, we focus on every detail to deliver a high-quality restoration. Our process includes:
- Consultation & Estimate: We begin with a detailed discussion about your piano’s history and condition. We offer consultations in-person or virtually, including options like Facetime or Skype for out-of-town customers. We then provide a customized proposal outlining the costs and scope of the restoration.
- Pickup & Transport: Once you approve the estimate, we arrange for the pickup and safe transport of your piano to our workshop. A final inspection is completed to confirm the accuracy of our restoration plan.
- Expert Restoration: Our team meticulously disassembles your piano, inspects each component, and replaces worn parts using high-quality materials. We use Bolduc soundboards and pinblocks for superior craftsmanship and apply a hand-rubbed lacquer finish to enhance the piano’s visual appeal.
- Delivery & Follow-up: After restoration, we carefully package and deliver your piano back to you. We also provide a complimentary tuning and check-up to ensure everything meets your expectations.
THE BRADFIELD PIANO RESTORATION
DIFFERENCE
Our full piano rebuilds use only the best components, including Steinway & Sons NY action parts and Renner action parts. The precision of action parts is crucial for restoring a piano’s touch and responsiveness. Touchweight adjustments, carefully calculated by our technicians, ensure that your piano has the perfect feel. Using inferior parts compromises sound quality, but our selection of high-quality action parts ensures your piano performs at its best.
We use Bolduc soundboards and pinblocks, renowned for their quality in soundboard replacement and pinblock repairs. The soundboard amplifies the sound of your piano, and the pinblock holds the tuning pins in place to maintain tuning stability. When these components fail, a complete piano restoration is often necessary. We carefully assess each piano’s structure to determine the level of restoration needed.
The piano refinishing process is just as important as the internal mechanics. We take pride in our hand-rubbed lacquer finishes, which not only protect the piano but also enhance its beauty. Using state-of-the-art spray booths and equipment, Bradfield Piano ensures that the finish of a restored piano is as stunning as its original factory standard—if not better.
Our piano tuning and voicing services are performed by expert technicians with years of experience, many of whom have worked directly for Steinway. Our team uses Steinway techniques to ensure each piano is perfectly tuned and voiced, producing the rich tone and resonance associated with world-class instruments.

THE PROCESS:
BEFORE, DURING, & AFTER
THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR PIANO
IS CRITICAL
A Complete Piano Restoration can involve various components, but the most vital areas typically center around the soundboard and the pinblock.
Soundboard
The soundboard is the heart of the piano, responsible for resonating and amplifying the sound produced when the hammers strike the strings. The quality of the sound directly correlates with the condition of the soundboard. If a soundboard is compromised, it can leave the piano with a flat, tinny tone, or, in extreme cases, cause a buzzing sound. Our team of expert craftsmen specializes in soundboard replacement, taking precise measurements to ensure the new soundboard fits perfectly and restores your piano’s sound to its full potential. This is an essential part of Piano Restoration Services that we provide for both grand and upright pianos.
Pinblock
The pinblock secures the piano’s tuning pins, ensuring the piano holds its tune. If your piano struggles to maintain its tuning, especially after seasonal adjustments, it likely indicates that the pinblock needs to be replaced. Pinblock repairs or replacements are a common requirement in Grand Piano Restoration or any Professional Piano Rebuild, especially for aging instruments or after long-term use.
