Piano Restoration
Bring your piano back to life, and back to its original potential. We specialize in all aspects of restoration: new soundboards, pinblocks, bridges, actions, strings, etc. We even duplicate original keysets. See our work. Or follow a complete restoration, photo by photo, in our 1944 Steinway Model S case study.
Piano Refinishing
Highest quality closed-pore, hand-rubbed finishes, just how they were done 100 years ago. You won’t find a higher quality piano finish anywhere.
Touch & Tone Improvement
Just as important as tuning is keeping the touch and tone as good as when the piano left the factory. Periodic adjustments to both tone and touch make your piano a pleasure to play.
Climate Control Systems
Maintaining the health and tune of your piano has a lot to do with maintaining consistent humidity to your instrument. The climate control system we install inside the piano provides both humidifying and dehumidifying. It is almost invisible and is easy to maintain.
Piano Moving & Storage
For those times in your life when you need to store your piano, we can provide safe, climate-controlled storage. We can arrange both the moving and storing of your piano.

Call It Courage: Armstrong Sperry and His 1917 Steinway
Many of us met Armstrong Sperry in a school library, in the pages of Call It Courage, winner of the 1941 Newbery Medal. Writer, artist, and South Seas voyager, he promised himself as a boy that he would one day see Bora Bora. He also owned a Steinway, and his 1917 Model O is now in our Boulder-area gallery.
A Baritone in the Foothills: Sherrill Milnes and a 1913 Steinway in Evergreen
For years, a 1913 Steinway Model M lived in a family home in Evergreen, Colorado, and whenever the great American baritone Sherrill Milnes was in town, he would stop by and sit down to play. From an Illinois dairy farm to the world’s great opera stages, here is the story of the singer and the piano now being restored in our shop.
A Winter Tour, a Signed Harp, and a Singing Tone: Josef Lhévinne’s Steinway in Denver, 1907
Inside one grand piano in our collection, written on the cast-iron harp, is a signature: Josef Lhévinne, Denver, February 12, 1907. Weeks after playing for Theodore Roosevelt at the White House, the young Russian virtuoso was crossing America by train on a Steinway tour of more than a hundred concerts. Here is the story of that winter and that piano.
