A brief rundown of what's been happening in the shop this week.Work has continued on the 1905 Grotrian Steinweg. As planned, restringing has begun (see photo). This should hopefully be completed within the next week. and shortly afterwards the piano should be ready to play once again.
Also this week, we have undertaken the majority of the necessary work on the Knight K15 which has already been reserved by a customer. This included a thorough clean of the casework, brasses and keys, all of which was badly needed! The result is a piano which has been completely transformed cosmetically. The piano has also had most of the regulation carried out, so with a few more hours work it will be ready to be seen and played by the customer.
Today we have also taken delivery of 3 more pianos; an ebony Bechstein model 9 upright from 1905, a lovely Hopkinson 1930s upright, and a baby grand by Lanstein (thought to be made by monnington & weston). All 3 will require varying degrees of restoration and re-conditioning, but as always contact us for more details on estimated prices and more details.
