Swenson's Piano Shop offers a full range of services for modern and historic pianos,
including tuning, refinishing, and high-quality restoration. Instruments restored in
our workshop can be found in many museum, institutions and private homes worldwide
including the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
(photo), the Nippon Cultural
Center in Tokyo (photo 1,
photo 2), and the Schubert Club museum in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Beethoven Center at San José State University houses a fortepiano by Mathias
Jakesch (photo) rebuilt in our shop. In the summer of 2007, we completed an
unusual grand piano (photo), with "harmonic swell" built in 1822 at the London factory of
Muzio Clementi. The instrument is part of the collection of the Granger Homestead
and Museum in Canandaigua, NY. We have just completed the restorations of a rare
fortepiano by the Viennese builder Conrad Graf (photo 1)
and the Neapolitan
builder Giacomo Sievers (photo 1,
photo 2).
We specialize in the
restoration of grand pianos by Bösendorfer, Bechstein,
Broadwood, Blüthner, Baldwin, Chickering, Conrad Graf, Ehrbar, Feurich, Ibach,
Knabe, Pleyel, Steinway & Sons, Schweighofer, Mason & Hamlin, and Stein &
Streicher. We restore, buy and sell modern and historical grand pianos, including
18th- and 19th-century Viennese fortepianos. We are happy to talk about pianos
and we invite questions about sales, restoration, appraisals, conservation procedures,
and long-distance moving. The prices for our work and our restored instruments are
surprisingly low. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we may be of service
in any way.
