Steinway & Sons pianola - grand piano makeover
on: October 23, 2014, 07:41:15 AM
Greetings!

I've created this particular topic to show off our successful attempt to rebuild an old and tired Steinway&Sons pianola into fully functional grand piano. The instrument was tested, tuned, and voiced. Plays and looks beautifully!

Here are the photos after it first came to us:

Now, after roughly 4 months, the instrument looks like this:

I hope that this topic inspires someone. In the end, we are really satisfied with the final effect. The owner of that piano was amazed!  :)

I'll be more than happy to discuss this particular instrument, or any other restoration related matters, just PM me.
