Upright Piano Restoration

French Polishing is a common finish on antique and older upright pianos. It allows the natural grains of the original timbers to be on display, adding warmth and character to a well loved instrument. Such pianos are not just a throw away item as so many of today's mass produces pianos are.

Pianos of yesteryear have a style, grace and character all of their own. When restoring an upright piano it's important to consider these unique differences and identify how best to retain these individual characteristics while repairing and rejuvenating the instrument.
