Renovation and Restoration of Instruments

At Petit Music,we have a never-ending desire to combine knowledge, workmanship, technologies and skills to restore instruments to the highest of quality standards. The aim of the process is to restore pianos of different brands to their original state.

For 10 years, Petit Music has specialized in complete restoration of fine quality pianos, including Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Knabe, Chickering, Baldwin, & many others. Every day we provide new life to old pianos through a combination of traditional craftsmanship & modern technology.

From soundboard repair & pinblock replacement, to action rebuilding, to high quality, hand-rubbed lacquer finishing, we offer a truly full service restoration service at our Eyota, MN facility.

If you have a piano, maybe a family heirloom, that you would like restored, please contact us at our Rochester, MN store or give us a call at 507-696-9000. We would be happy to evaluate your piano & advise you on your options, whether it be a complete rebuild & refinish, or simply a refurbishing, where we use as many of the original parts as possible, reshaping the hammers, replacing broken key tops, and/or an overhaul of the action.

There are 3 main aspects of Piano Restoration:

Cabinet Refinishing – to restore the luster & beauty lost over time, as well as repair scratches, dents, & fading & cracking of the finish. Our professional piano finish is what makes your piano truly make a statement of beauty! If you choose, you may even be involved in the process of choosing the right finish for your piano!
Soundboard & Pinblock Repair & Replacement – to maintain the piano’s resonation & ensure tuning stability.
Action, Keyboard, & Damper work– making sure that all of the important parts (hammers, springs, flanges, dampers, etc) are in proper working order &, if necessary, replaced after years of playing & general degeneration.
