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
Today's project: restoring the valves and pouches in the stack of a vintage Lindeman & Sons player piano. #piano #pianos #pianorestoration #pianorestorations #accutonepiano
Trash...? Or hidden treasure...? Most would throw this piano away, but if the bones are there, the results can be remarkable. Watch for more posts showing what this gem looked like after our restoration. The owner was stunned! #piano #pianos #accutonepiano #pianorestorations #pianorestoration
Making excellent progress on the restoration of the Ivers & Pond upright!
Tuning a 1913 Baldwin grand that we restored some years ago. We even reproduced and reinstalled the original dealer decal on the fall board when we applied the new hand-rubbed finish. This piano looks and sounds fantastic! #piano #pianotuning #accutonepiano #pianorestoration #pianorestorations #pianos
