Each instrument brings its own experience, difficulties, discoveries and joys. This may be the reason why we only become restorers after years of practice, but we remain apprentices in our soul.<\/p>\n

Come and discover what is :
\n– The restoration in the noble sense
\n-The very traditional quality restoration
\n– The historical restoration, concept that we have proudly developed in our own workshops
\n– conservation in original condition[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text]\u2014 G\u00e9rard Fauvin, Domaine Musical de P\u00e9tignac<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”4″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h6″ text_font=”font-857472″ text_size=”h6″ text_weight=”300″ text_transform=”uppercase” text_color=”accent”]you want to know[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h1″ text_color=”color-jevc”]How much will my piano restoration cost ?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image media=”266″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”twentyone-nine” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]Today, depending on all unique and individual characteristics of every instrument (type, state and nature of the furniture) its bass string materials (standard steel or copper, old fashioned drawing, brass on steel for exemple, damages provoked by humidity or dryness etc etc) it takes a minimum of 250 hours to restore a piano.<\/p>\n

Restoring a piano, without discriminating between tradition restoration and historical restoration, means spending the necessary time to inspect, diagnostic, prepare a precise quote, insuring transportation, enforce the work of our craftsmen using the best materials possible, which means the most appropriate for your piano, according to your taste and choices.<\/p>\n

Too often you are sold a \u201cstandard exchange of parts and felts\u201d. And Your piano looses then all quality and value. Restoring doesn\u2019t mean pushing in large pegs and glueing new felts.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h6″]This is the main reason why you should know that prices (excluding VAT) start at 10.000 for an upright piano and at 12.000 for a grand piano. The restoration of an historical piano would reasonably start at 18.000 (still excluding VAT).[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ back_color=”color-wayh” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”4″ column_width_use_pixel=”yes” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ el_class=”inverted-device-order” column_width_pixel=”1600″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”5\/12″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h1″]Can a wooden framed piano be restored ?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Yes of course. Theoretically any piano can be restored. It is only a matter of cost and waiting. The so called problem linked to the wooden frame is a simple tale invented by piano merchants who would rather sell a new piano.<\/p>\n

The restoration of a wooden framed piano doesn\u2019t show any problems as long as you verify the harmonic structure and in particular the instrument\u2019s rim. Do not believe any story where the proposal is to \u201cadd a metallic frame\u201d.<\/p>\n

A simple matter of know how .. and possibly also determination<\/p>\n
