More photos of the restoration work on a 1910 Wegman upright, built in Auburn, NY. Photos of cleaning work on the keybed, the Patented Wegman tuning pins before and after corrosion removal, etc. Once it receives the new QRS PNOmation3 system, this piano will not only be "as good as new", it will be incredible, a true piece of both art and history!

This month's project: the complete restoration of a Wegman upright, made locally in Auburn, NY. Wegman made very high quality pianos with a special tuning pin that did not enter a pin block.

The restoration includes removing thick coats of paint from every square inch of the outside cabinet, and applying our new hand-rubbed finish. Once the piano itself is perfect, it will be fitted with a new digital QRS PNOmation player system. It will look and sound better than ever! Make sure to contact us for information on fixing your piano and installing a new digital player system, and stay tuned for more pictures of this project!

Today's project: tuning the 1909 Steinway grand at a nearby school in preparation for the students' performance Friday evening. This piano sounds amazing in the auditorium!

This piano recently came in to our shop for a full restoration. It is a special Apollo player piano known as an "Apollo-phone". What made this piano so special? Between rolls, you could keep your guests entertained by playing a record on the built-in gramophone! Unfortunately, someone has removed the gramophone in the years since the piano was built.

Our most recent restoration project is back home again at the Cherry Artspace in Ithaca.

How bad is your piano's condition? As long as the bones are there, we can make nearly any piano look and sound like new, as these before and after shots of a 1911 Kroeger upright we recently restored show.

Today we are pinning and stringing an 1883 Jacob Brothers (from New York) upright "cabinet grand".

Something very special is coming soon...! We are currently restoring a 1919 Lindeman player piano for a customer, but there is going to be a twist that you'll have to see (and hear) to believe! Stay tuned!

Tuning an 1890 Weber upright today, which still has its original pins and strings! #piano #pianos #pianotuning #accutonepiano

Today's project: working on a Duo-Art player console. Here the stack has been removed and the piano looks like a rather ordinary console piano. #piano #pianos #pianorestoration #pianorestorations #accutonepiano
