Why restore?
Many older pianos are candidates for reconditioning or full restoration. Most large high-quality instruments can be rebuilt for one-half to two-thirds the cost of a comparable new piano, making rebuilding a cost-effective option for fine pianos. In addition, a sentimental attachment to a piano may justify the investment to restore or recondition it.
Spending several thousand dollars to restore a piano that is fifty, seventy, or even a hundred years old or more is a large sum of money to be sure. But it's my experience that with the right piano, you could end up with a vastly superior musical instrument than if you spent the same amount on a new piano.
