Do you own a grand piano?

If so you probably cherish it and regard it as a valuable asset. But to retain its value for you and your family in the future and to continue to provide further years of pleasure it needs to be well maintained. The Blüthner Repair and Restoration Service offers a unique and specialised service rebuilding fine grand pianos.

The repair and restoration service is operated by Blüthner Piano Centre Ltd.  As we are a subsidiary company of Blüthner Pianofortefabrik GmbH in Leipzig, we are in a unique position to use genuine replacement felts and materials which are not generally obtainable. Our customers also benefit from our ability to source specialist timbers and materials and a wealth of original craft skills.

Why may work be necessary on my piano?

A piano is not constructed like a violin and therefore does not improve with age. Over the years the tone, the touch and the general responsiveness of the instrument does decline. Hammer felts become worn, soft felts become hard, the strings can lose their resonance and moths can attack the felts. The soundboard can become damaged by central heating which can also affect the stability of the tuning. The casework too can so easily assume a shabby and tired appearance.

How can we help you?

By firstly completing our contact form, giving details of your grand piano, we can arrange for a technician to examine the instrument and provide a written estimate of the work we consider necessary to restore your piano to its former glory and into first class playing order. Such work can take between 2 to 4 months to complete.

What are the benefits?

By using our services not only can the original beauty of the instrument's touch and tone be restored for your enjoyment, but also the piano is returned with the unique Blüthner Seal of Approval. This document provides a permanent record of service thereby enhancing the instruments value in future years.
