Pianola Restoration
About us
I worked as an antiques restorer from 1978 until 2003 mainly concentrating on 18th and 19th century furniture and will still undertake the occasional commission, though trade has dropped off dramatically since then. I decided to diversify into Pianolas after I was asked by a friend to restore an Autolean that had fallen into disrepair some 25 years ago.
Bolstered by the success of that project and the pleasure that the refurbished Autolean gave people, young and old alike, I decided to look for more to restore. Apart from the Autolean, I have rebuilt many different makes including Aeolians (Standard and Duo Arts), Higels, Steck 65 and 88 notes, an American made Howerd, Hupfeld, Broadwood, Eastonola / Higels, Dagmar / Aeolian, Rachals / Kastner, Crane / Higels, Chappell / Higels, Autopiano, Melville Clark ‘Apollo’ 58 note push up and am currently repolishing a Burr Walnut Steinway Grand along with a Starck of Chicago rebuild.
Based in Northamptonshire I am well placed to travel all over London, central England the North and farther if required to view and estimate for repairs and rebuilds.
