Our Process:

Assessment

When you first contact us about your interest in restoring your piano, we will ask for you to email us photos of your piano so we can assess what kind of restoration the piano needs. If necessary, at no charge, Kenn Wildes can also come to see the piano and talk about all aspects of it with the owner, showing the condition of each section of the piano, and explaining repair or restoration options and their costs. If needed, Kenn will choose to tune the piano, as this is an excellent way to assess the condition of many aspects of a piano. Again, this is done at no initial charge, and if restoration is undertaken this initial tuning is simply included as part of the free estimate. If no restoration is undertaken after some time, this tuning is usually billed later.

Estimate

After the initial assessment, Kenn emails an estimate to the owner, detailing all required work and the total cost. Also included are options for additional tasks, along with their individual costs. The owner of the piano decides what they want to do, and Kenn revises the estimate into a final invoice. A timeline is set and agreed to on the invoice, moving is coordinated, and once a deposit is paid, work begins.

Visit Shop

During the restoration, the owner is encouraged to visit the workshop and see the piano in progress. This is especially requested when there is a color choice involved.  It is also requested that one sees a piano before final delivery, to ensure that all aspects of the piano are to their liking. The workshop is located in the South Seattle area.

In Home Tuning and Guarantee

Once the piano is delivered, a free in-home tuning by Kenn is always included, as well as checking over the regulation and voicing in the final location. A 5 year guarantee accompanies all restoration work done by Stage 7 Pianos.
