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!

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.

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.

Lindeblad restored my family's 1927 Louis XV Steinway. They were professional, honest and most importantly...very talented at their craft. They are true artists. Highly recommended!

I love my piano! My 100 year old Steinway was refinished by Lindeblad restoration and the final result exceeded my expectations. It looks brand new, even the wheels were refinished. Every little detail was redone perfectly! The action and tone is beautiful and I enjoy playing again now that the inside parts work like they should. They did a phenomenal job, both inside and out! Thank you to the whole team for your excellent work!

An exceptional experience from the beginning until the end. I was looking for a Steinway piano as a gift for my daughter and after spending over a year doing extensive research on restoration companies, I was fortunate enough to find Lindeblad. From my first contact with Todd, I knew Lindeblad was the right choice. Throughout our interactions, I was always met with the utmost level of professionalism and cordiality. He not only took the time to answer all my questions and concerns, but also provided a great deal of additional information and advice. I was extremely impressed with Lindeblad’s customer service, particularly their response rate and level of care in meeting all my needs. After discussing several options, Todd found exactly what I was looking for. As a side note – if they don’t have it, they really will find it for you. In terms of the restoration process, I couldn’t have asked for better. Paul kept me updated along the way, providing all information in detail. He was thorough with every aspect of the development, which was amazingly short – the piano was in our home the following week. As to the delivery process, it was just as exceptional as everything else. Robert kept me informed with all the details up to and including the day of the delivery. In all, the entire experience was fantastic. Lindeblad’s seamless process and remarkable customer service is something to be desired by every company. The piano itself, a Steinway upright model K52, is perfect. It looks and sounds extraordinary; my daughter is completely in love with it. I am very thankful to Lindeblad for this wonderful experience and highly recommend them as the top piano restoration company. For anyone looking to make such a special purchase as a piano, Lindeblad is the way to go.

Lindeblad Piano was amazingly competent, professional, and a pleasure to work with. They were excellent about following up when I called for information or with questions, they were thorough in every aspect of the work of restoring our century old Steinway, and their moving team's pick up and delivery was amazing, despite challenging entrance and egress at both ends. Their moving team even answered questions I had about possible refinishing of parts of the piano. They clearly know Steinway pianos inside and out, and care about craftsmanship and attention to detail. I could call out specific people by name, but frankly, there wasn't a single employee I interacted with who wasn't impressively patient, well-informed, and thorough. If I was dreaming of the ideal piano restoration company to work with, I couldn't imagine better customer service than that provided by Lindeblad Piano Restoration. I'm so glad that I came upon them when I searched for a company. I can't recommend them highly enough. One thing to be aware of -- if you plan a visit to their warehouse, it is not collocated with their showroom, so make sure you check the destination address; you can't just Google the company if you want to get to the warehouse!
