The previous owners of this magnificent concert upright had wanted to have it moved unprofessionally from the second floor – and in the attempt to lower it by rope over the balcony, the piano fell about 2 m. Fortunately without injury to anyone. But the piano looked pitiful. In many places the case was very badly damaged, part of the keyboard was destroyed, and the action had also suffered damage. Thanks to the good quality, the cast-iron frame and load-bearing parts remained intact.

So here it was not just a matter of renovation, but of extensive restoration to make the piano whole again. At the customer’s request, the finish was polished black. All the work was worth it – today this beautiful concert upright is with a music-loving family in Munich.
