Piano Restorations Built Around Your Needs
Piano restoration in Forster is more than a technical job—it’s a craft. Restoring your instrument means looking at how it’s played, where it lives and what it needs to thrive again. Whether it's a faded family heirloom or a piano with mechanical issues, Tony offers tailored restoration that blends technical skill with musical insight.
Services can include hammer replacement, restringing, action regulation, pedal repair or soundboard cleaning—depending on the condition. Each job starts with an honest assessment and a conversation about what’s worth restoring and how best to approach it.
Clients regularly say how satisfying it is to hear and feel their piano fully restored—clearer tone, balanced action and a cabinet that looks as good as it sounds. With tools, training and a passion for quality work, Tony delivers lasting results that help pianos in Forster keep playing for decades to come.
Can a piano be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. If the frame and soundboard are intact, even older pianos can often be repaired to excellent playing condition. Common fixes include replacing worn hammers, repairing strings, tightening loose pins or regulating the action.
Repairs are usually far more cost-effective than replacing the entire instrument—especially for well-made models.
How long do piano repairs take?
Minor repairs can often be done during a standard service visit. More involved work—like action rebuilds, hammer replacements or cabinet touch-ups—may require a few days to several weeks.
Timelines depend on the type of repair, availability of parts and whether the work is done on-site or in a workshop. Planning around the piano’s usage can help avoid interruptions.
Will repairs change the sound of my piano?
Good repairs should enhance the sound. Replacing worn or compressed parts, realigning the action or adjusting the strings often improves clarity, balance and sustain.
In some cases—especially with voicing or hammer work—the tone can become noticeably brighter or warmer. The goal is always to restore the instrument’s natural voice and make it more responsive to the player.
What’s the difference between piano repair and restoration?
Piano repair involves fixing specific problems—like broken strings, sticky keys or worn hammers—to get the instrument back into working order. Restoration, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive process that may include multiple repairs along with structural, mechanical and aesthetic improvements.
Restoration can involve action regulation, cabinet refinishing, restringing and rebuilding parts of the instrument. While repair is about solving isolated issues, restoration is about renewing the piano’s overall performance, tone and appearance.
