1909 Steinway Model O

1924 Knabe, during and after

Restoring Steinway & Sons, Mason & Hamlin, Baldwin, Chickering, Weber, and many many others.

Taking pride in thorough and heartfelt craftsmanship since 2016.

With time-tested methods, piano rebuilder Mike Smith and the not-too-big team at Piano Utah specialize in bringing 100 year old pianos down to the bare bones and building them up to begin a new generation.

What does restoration entail?

6 main areas:

1. Soundboard – the resonant spruce heart of the piano

2. Bridges – the long curvy wood under the strings which transfers vibration to the soundboard

3. Strings and Tuning pins – 230 of them, totaling 20,000 – 40,000 lbs tension

4. Pin block – the greatest contributor to a piano’s ability to hold a tune. The laminated maple block in which tuning pins are held by friction.

5. Keys and Action – moving parts that bring your touch to the strings

6. Refinishing – bringing back that beautiful wood grain or solid color finish, restoring hardware and the metal plate/harp

How do I take the first step?

The best place to start is a thorough assessment inside the piano at your home, so we can have a clear conversation from there about your options, because pricing varies widely depending on the piano’s needs and desired future.

After an assessment, quote, and the choice to move forward, most customers’ pianos are in the shop for 2-4 months. We coordinate piano pickup and delivery.
