It is difficult to start talking about player pianos and reproducing player pianos. There is is so much going on, that most people don’t want to know, they just want it fixed.

One major component that we have learned over the past 32 years is that most players restored by anyone but a couple of guys and us did the right job. That being said we have come across some real quality restorations. What sets us apart from everyone else is that we restore between 15-35 players a year, from the basic Aeolian 88 note pumper, Steinway Duo-Art’s, Knabe & Mason Hamlin Ampico’s, Weltes, and all automatic musical instruments like Wurlitzer CX and Seeburg Model L… We have really perfected the art of restoration. Our player restoration are guaranteed for 10 years and as long as you use it it should last a lifetime.

We use only the highest quality products available, we believe that the best products in any case produce the best finished product. We use old fashioned leather and rubberized pneumatic cloth to replace original cloth that consisted of same materials. We use neoprene hose that has stood the test of time since its creation in the 1950′s, it seems that neoprene is the only product that is better than the original clay or lead tubing.

Have you every heard a piano without a soul? We do all the time. Our goal is to bring the soul of your piano back and make it play like it never has before. Most of the art of Player restoration is in the final adjustments of the system, “tweaking”, every aspect, making it the most real it can possibly be.

There are two very important points we would like to make up front regarding player pianos…

• First, a player piano is only going to play and sound as good as the piano itself. If the piano is in poor condition, no matter how fast the keys move up and down it is going to sound terrible.

• Second, a player piano consists of two separate machines – the piano, and the player mechanisms that play the piano. Both components are integral to a good sounding and functioning player piano.

In our player piano restoration, all pumps, valves, locks & cancels, pneumatics, tubing, etc., are restored to like-new condition all with a historical perspective in mind. Today, there are thousands of songs available on player piano rolls, including current hits! To see the vast song title selection available for player pianos today, see here.

With respect to reproducers (Ampico, Duo-Art, Welte) we are truly in a league of our own. This is what we do everyday of our lives and we have mastered the art of rebuilding reproducers. Once a reproducing piano restoration is completed, we test over 25 rolls to ensure that when we send your piano home, it is in perfect condition! We warranty all of our restorations for 10 years. Make no mistake, we are the absolute best at what we do. One phone call to our staff and you will understand.
