“We bought our Steinway through Lindeblad about 8-10 years ago at this point, and we still love it. The care we got from the Lindeblad team at the time was tremendous. Two of our kids are classical pianists and the Lindeblad team took their time having them try many different instruments to hone in on the touch and feel that the kids felt most comfortable with. Eventually, we got to the piano that …”

The 1st Presbyterian Church of Martinsville, IN experienced a tornado that damaged roof and sent debris onto our 1890's Steinway piano. Lindeblad completely restored our piano. It sounds amazing and looks so beautiful. All the gentlemen that retrieved and delivered the piano were A+. Lindeblad Piano Restoration saved our piano. Todd and Sean Lindeblad were the best !

Owning a Steinway was a lifelong dream for me. When my husband decided it was time to fulfill that dream, we were a little overwhelmed in our search. Initially, nothing was a good fit and the logistics of finding the perfect piano from our small town in Indiana were daunting. We happened upon Lindeblad in an internet search and suddenly everything seemed possible! We were immediately impressed with their piano stock, 30-day money back guarantee and their free shipping. Once we called them, things started happening at lightning speed. Todd was very understanding of our desires, and he made the process so easy. We were able to meet with Bobby, the head technician, to discuss touch and the technical requirements of the piano. Dealing with Matt about the shipping and delivery was stress free. Jay, who delivered our piano, was calm, unruffled, and moved the piano with an ease I’ve never before seen. In short, the entire process was seamless. They truly care about their customers, have fantastic products, and their professionalism and attention to details were spot on. I would, and have already, recommend Lindeblad for anybody’s piano needs!

Had a great experience with everyone at Lindeblad. There is no doubt I would only consider them if going through the process again. They were not only very relational but delivered my piano in the time frame that was discussed even though I was 1000 miles away. Unbelievable transformation. I feel as I have a brand new 1921 Steinway that can stay in my family for generations. See below before and after pictures.

There are not enough accolades for this company. The team members are dedicated to their craft, and their customer service is superlative. Lindeblad restored a vintage concert grand Steinway (1872!) for me, with incredible results. Professionalism at the highest level! From start to finish, Todd and his team answered all my questions and allayed any concerns I had about the extensive work that needed to be done. This was a yearlong restoration that went smoothly and was completed before the anticipated date. This is a company you can trust. I would not hesitate to do business with them again. The level of knowledge, experience, and care is unmatched. Without a doubt, this is the best customer service I have ever received. The attached picture says it all. Exceptional!

After shopping and reading about many pianos, my wife and I settled on Lindeblad. Todd Lindeblad was very patient with the myriad of questions we had and was able to help us choose a piano that was right for us. Our piano was as discussed and arrived on-time. The piano tuner was very complimentary of the sound and quality of restoration, and commented this was his first Lindeblad finished piano he had ever worked on and he was impressed. I highly recommend buying a piano from Lindeblad.

My Grandfather gave me a Steinway upright as a young girl in the 1960s. After several moves and exposure to the elements it was a sorry sight. The bench was badly scarred and water damage from plants spotted the surfaces. Some of the wood cabinetry was chipped off completely. The action was noisy, and the piano was simply in terrible shape. When I reached out to Lindeblad I found a warm, responsive knowledgeable family run business that takes care of each client and piano with impeccable standards. We were sent videos and photos of our technicians, received regular feedback and invitations for input throughout the process of restoration, and had timely pickup and drop-off of the instrument. Not only was the piano restored to its original beauty, but the entire process was a joy. What a terrific experience. What a worthwhile investment! If you have an heirloom like mine, I hope you will entrust Lindeblad with its restoration. You will be glad you did.....

My family owned a 1928 Steinway & Son Model K piano. It played really well (as one would expect), but this piano looked tired and the keys needed “strengthening” from our point of view. We have owned and loved this piano for over 20 years and intend it to be a family treasure to pass down for generations to come. I came across Lindeblad Piano Restoration on a Google search. From the beginning Sean was pleasant, patient and attentive to me. He acknowledged this was a financial commitment and I was trusting our family treasure and a lot of money with his company. Today, we received our piano (after 6 months of work). All I could say is WOW! My family and I are absolutely over the moon on the quality do the work inside and out. I trust this company and the team. From the time they picked up the piano (gave us a loaner) to the return, they treated out piano like they were taking one of my children. Please reach out to me for pics or a conversation as I highly recommend abs would not hesitate to entrust this wonderful group of people who have taken this job to artistic heights. The love they have for the piano shows itself. By the way, there was inside work which they recommended. They never pressured me to do the work. Ultimately it was my decision (with their advice) which got me to doing 90% of the inside replacements… Don’t hesitate if yiu are looking to improve the sound of your instrument and compliment it with the visual beauty of restoring your piano to its birth date.

Lindeblad Piano Restoration is a fantastic company to work with. Several years ago we were looking for someone to restore my mother’s Steinway grand piano. After talking with several piano rebuilding companies, it was quickly evident that Lindeblad was our top choice. They obviously really care about their customers and are devoted to providing quality workmanship in their piano restorations. Since we could not start the rebuild project immediately, Todd Lindeblad stayed in contact with us for several years. (After our initial calls, none of the other companies ever bothered to follow up with us.) Todd even welcomed us to their rebuilding facility in New Jersey for a personal tour. At long last, we have finally had the piano restored and are delighted with the result. The Lindeblad team did a beautiful job replacing the entire inner workings of the piano with the specific parts we requested, so it looks like new and plays beautifully. The whole process, from start to finish, was handled smoothly and professionally, with company personnel reaching out to us at various points during the rebuild. Plus, the pick up and delivery services are amazing. It is a huge perk that Lindeblad does not charge extra drayage fees, providing their own delivery service, complete with a clean new truck, a high tech dolly, and pianos very carefully wrapped in protective padding. Jay, our delivery person, was fantastic. We really appreciated his special attention to details and the extra TLC he gave our piano when moving it into our living room. And, as professional pianists who have seen a lot of pianos moved, we can honestly say that Jay did the best job we have ever seen in our entire careers. Many, many thanks to the entire team at Lindeblad Piano Restoration!

I 100% recommend Lindeblad Piano Restoration if you're looking for a high-quality instrument you'll play for years. When we started looking for a "forever piano" for our home, I knew I wanted an older, restored instrument and Lindeblad Pianos looked like a great option. I was initially hesitant to purchase and restore a piano without playing it first or being able to try out different options, but after speaking with Todd and the team I was convinced - they took a lot of time to learn how I play, and after hearing what they needed, they then went off and did their magic. We took delivery of our Steinway Model K the other day, and it's blown past my (already high) expectations. At one point in my life I was a pretty serious piano player so I know what good instruments feel and sound like. This is a good instrument. The bass register, in particular, sounds as good as any Model B I've ever played, and miles better than any upright. It is a huge sound, but with remarkable (and delicate) dynamic range. I had zero issues shipping the piano to Canada; the team took care of everything. Anyone looking for a high-quality instrument and who's comfortable trusting a team with finding and building their dream piano should go with Lindeblad pianos. I'm glad I did.
