The cost of rebuilding a piano is by far the labor involved. So decisions about parts are critical for maintinaing the correct geometry for each piano that is rebuilt. Otherwise extra work is involved in getting wrong parts to work. Steinway parts are not always the correct specification for rebuilt Steinway pianos since their specifications change over the years.

This piano has been restored to play as it did when it was produced over 100 years ago. It is an heirloom piano that can be appreciated in centuries to come.
