Piano Restoration and Rebuilding for Pittsburgh
Restoring pianos for Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh is one of our nearest markets outside New York State, and our references there include Carnegie Mellon University.
We rebuild fine pianos for Pittsburgh owners, Steinway, Baldwin, Mason & Hamlin and many others, at our own facility: restringing, pinblock and soundboard replacement, complete action rebuilds and hand refinishing.
What we take on for Pittsburgh customers
Major repair and full restoration only, at our shop in Buffalo. No tuning, regulation or minor repairs in Pittsburgh: those belong to a technician near you, and we would rather say so than sell you a long-distance callout. Getting the piano here is our problem, not yours. See how our service area works.
Working with western Pennsylvania
The drive from Buffalo to Pittsburgh is roughly three hours, which makes collection and delivery simple to arrange and keeps transport costs down. Western Pennsylvania has been part of our working territory for decades.
Pittsburgh's hills make access the first thing we plan rather than the last. Steep approaches, split-level entries and tight interior stairs are all normal here, and they are the reason we would rather look at photographs of the route than be surprised on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have references in the Pittsburgh area?
Yes. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh appears on our reference list, alongside contacts connected with the Pittsburgh Philharmonic and the Erie, PA school district and historical building.
My house has a difficult approach. Is that a problem?
Not usually, but tell us about it early. Send photographs of the doorways, stairs and street access with your enquiry, and we will make sure the crew that collects the piano, ours or a partner mover, arrives with the right equipment for it.
How long does the assessment take?
The initial view from photographs and a serial number is quick. The full assessment happens once the piano is in the shop, where the plate, pinblock, soundboard and action can be properly examined and measured.
Can you also refinish furniture while you have the piano?
We do take on furniture restoration using the same hand techniques and finishes. Ask when you enquire and we will quote both together.
