Piano Restoration

Pianos are complex musical instruments that require constant upkeep and maintenance to ensure that they are performing at their optimal level. Eventually all Pianos will require more than standard servicing and will need to have majority of fundamental components replaced or overhauled. 

Heirloom Pianos is one of the only specialist restoration companies in the Region and has a workshop premises in Fyshwick to undertake all jobs from small refurbishments to major rebuilds. 

No one Piano is the same so each instrument has a custom designed restoration service catering to the needs and budget of the customer and the Piano.
