Our Master Craftsmen

Restoring pianos to their original glory lies at the core of what we do. With over 20 craftspeople and 300 years of combined experience, craftsmanship is an essential part of what makes Lindeblad Piano what it is.

OUR RESTORATION PROCESS

Step 1: Consultation

Find out how we can help you preserve your cherished family heirloom, breathe new life into a grand or upright piano that has fallen into disrepair, or select your perfect piano match from our vast inventory. Our piano experts are available for telephone, email, and online consultations about your project. We will guide you through all of the decisions necessary to custom tailor the piano to your preferences.

After you have decided on the details of the restoration, your piano expert will provide a free comprehensive written estimate for the project. This will prescribe details of the customized restoration, outline an expected timeline for completion, and provide a final cost for the restoration of the piano (pending inspection of any piano not selected from our inventory).

Step 2: Pickup

Lindeblad understands the added responsibility we take on when you trust us with the restoration of your family heirloom. Your piano expert will coordinate the pickup of your piano by a member of our worldwide network of trained piano movers. Our movers are fully insured, highly experienced, and equipped with the specialized tools necessary to transport your piano to our restoration studio with the care it deserves.

Once at our restoration studio, your grand or upright piano will be carefully inspected and photographed by our restoration team. They will confirm that the prescribed restoration is accurate and provide you with a final proposal. Simply pay one-half of the project cost, and our craftsmen will begin their meticulous work.

Step 3: Restoration

New components are sourced from the best manufacturers in the world. Like Steinway, we use only Gold Series piano wire made by Mapes International from the finest Swedish steel and Diamond brand tuning pins made by Julius Klinke, the oldest piano component manufacturer in Germany. Also like Steinway, we use either a Renner or Steinway action depending on the piano and your personal preferences. For new pin blocks we use either Bolduc or Steinway, depending on whether you would prefer to duplicate the original pin block or utilize Steinway's modern design.

For custom made components like the soundboard, our senior soundboard craftsman, Galo Torres, utilizes techniques developed over 30 years crafting and installing soundboards at Steinway & Sons New York. We select the finest close-grain Alaskan Sitka Spruce from the same specialty wood supplier used by Steinway and hand taper each board from the crown to the rim, creating the perfect diaphragmatic design for each unique piano.

Finally, if we are restoring your piano's finish we will remove all previous finish and stain to expose the natural wood beneath. We can then custom stain the wood to match your preferences and apply a satin, or high-gloss finish.

Step 4: Delivery

As much care and attention to detail that went into the restoration goes into the final delivery of a piano as well. Whether across town in a truck, or overseas in the belly of a jet, our trained piano movers utilize the most advanced materials and techniques available to ensure the safe delivery of your grand or upright piano...anywhere in the world.

Step 5: Tuning

The restoration is not complete until your piano is set up and ready to be played. No matter how short and smooth the journey, we know that subtle adjustments are going to be necessary once the piano reaches its final destination. That is why we send a local registered piano technician to fine-tune and complete a detailed inspection of every piano we deliver.

Step 6: Follow-Up

By this point, we expect you will have a close personal relationship with your Lindeblad piano expert. We ask that you spend a few days with your newly restored piano. If you have any questions or concerns about the restoration, we will be eager to address them. We are not satisfied until you are satisfied..

Beyond that, your restored piano has a 5 year warranty on the soundboard and a 20 year warranty on all other parts and labor. We encourage you to call us if we can be of any assistance throughout the life of your piano.
