Services for Modern Pianos
French Polishing: We now offer the finest quality, hand-rubbed French polishing to our list of services. This time-honored, traditional finishing method consists of applying thin layers of shellac by hand. The result is a stunning, easily repaired and matchlessly beautiful finish. We are happy to repair, restore and French polish antique furniture as well as fine keyboard instruments. The price is not significantly higher than the strip and spray methods used by most domestic refinishing shops. French polishing is available in clear and black and a great variety of other colors.
