Piano Restoration
Working with some of the best piano rebuilders/refinishers in Los Angeles,
we rebuilt this Steinway B Grand Piano to it's former glory.
My client, the exclusive "Bel-Air Bay Club" had quotes from $16,000 up to $30,000
When I gave them my quote for "thousands less than there lowest quote" they were
skeptical that I could get the same work done. However, after seeing my writer quote
and knowing that I would be using the best German Renner parts they were assured.
Below is a list of the work we did, before & after photos and a letter of thanks
the club wrote me for tranforming their piano into showroom condition.
Also the whole restoration was all completed within 10 weeks.
