Refinishing

The actual process of piano refinishing begins by first removing the old finish and washing the case to get rid of any chemical residue. Second, the piano is evaluated for any damages to the case and veneer, and, if necessary, repairs are made by our master woodworker. Third, the case and parts are sanded down and prepared for staining or priming. Finally, the piano is sent to our piano refinishing department, which begins the painstaking process of spraying and sanding in between coats.

The wood finishes receive a second stain (the toner) to even out the color and are then sealed again. If necessary, a third and final stain is applied. The final finish requires multiple coats of finish followed by machine polish or hand rubbing. All the metal parts installed in the piano are either nickel plated or re-polished brass.

Typically, it takes about 12 to 14 weeks to refinish a grand piano. For a lacquer finish, an additional 2 to 3 weeks of drying time is required.
