| Desc | Continuously operating since 1970. Restoration and maintenance services primarily for reproducing pianos (Ampico, Duo-Art, Welte, etc.) but also have extensive experience with parlor reed organs nickelodeons, and similar pneumatically operated musical instruments. I am a 40+ year member of the Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors Association (AMICA), the Musical Box Society, International (MBSI), and Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG). I have well-equipped metal and wood working shops, and although I limit myself to player mechanism tasks, I have associates available to me who are skilled in other "normal" piano restoration tasks such as keyboard and action refurbishment, hammers, dampers, re-stringing, re-pinning, pin block replacement, up to, and including completely new soundboards and bridges, by an on-site Registered PTG Technician with whom I have done several joint restoration projects (references available). Please call or email to discuss your needs. |
