Your beautifully restored piano will look and sound just like it did when it was brand new.

Family History

Axel Lindeblad, the family patriarch, was 25 when he left Stockholm, Sweden and immigrated to the United States in 1906. He had a passion for music and was an accomplished player on most stringed instruments.

Pursuing this love of music, Axel worked tuning upright and grand pianos for owners in their homes and repairing pianos out of his home in Brooklyn, N.Y from 1920 to 1956. In the early 1930's, he purchased property in Randolph, N.J. as a family vacation spot for the summer months.

Axel's son, Ed Lindeblad followed his father's footsteps in the piano business during his teenage years. And he moved to the property his father purchased in Randolph, N.J. in 1951. During the early 1950's, Ed worked for Steinway & Sons, but in 1954, he started independently restoring pianos at a facility in Dover, N.J. Almost ten years later, Ed built a restoration shop onto his house in Randolph and it was here his two sons, Paul & Eric, learned the family trade.

At Work

As third generation sons, Paul Lindeblad and Eric Lindeblad worked as young men in the rebuilding shop and also tuned pianos in homes, schools, and concert halls. To accommodate the growing business, they moved to a larger facility in Pine Brook, N.J.

Paul Lindeblad

Lindeblad Piano Restoration is now in its fourth generation. Paul's son Todd Lindeblad and Eric's son Pete Lindeblad also began learning the art of piano restoration as teenagers. After graduating from high school, Todd entered college and earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and Marketing from Montclair State University in 2004. And today, Todd and Pete both work full time along with their fathers, mastering the quality craftsmanship that has been carefully passed through each generation.

Resendo Vargas and his nephew, Carlos Vargas, run Lindeblad's refinishing department, producing superior work crucial to the quality of our pianos.

Rick Zielenkievicz entered the company in 2009 as a Restoration Specialist. Rich supports the master craftsmen, managing intake and preparation of pianos for restoration.

Pete Ribaudo joined us in 2010 as a Master Craftsman. Pete comes to us with 30 years of experience. In 2010, Chris Wubbels joined as Marketing Director to consult on company growth and expand Todd's work on marketing, allowing Todd to spend time with customers.

In 2011, Dave Donatuccio started as Operations Manager. Dave's assignment is to stay on top of the movement of pianos from day-to-day, knowing where they are and what needs to be done next. Also in 2011, Sean Lindeblad returned to Sales, then moved to our new Lindeblad School of Music as the Administrative Director. Meanwhile, Jonny Lindeblad—Eric's son— started as a Restoration Specialist, working alongside Rich. At the start of 2012, Rob Parker joined us as Office Manager.

Lindeblad Piano Restoration will continue the tradition of restoring pianos to perfect condition, and delivering the best customer service.
