Founded by Henry Perry, a classically trained pianist and piano restorer, the business is built on a rare blend of technical precision and artistic sensitivity. With a Master’s degree in Classical Performance, a Steinway & Sons scholarship, and years spent as Workshop Manager at William Young Pianos, Henry brings a performer’s ear and a craftsman’s eye to every restoration.

Piano Case Restoration

Whether restoring the elegance of a concert grand or reviving the ornate beauty of a vintage upright, The Piano Restorer ensures that the instrument’s exterior reflects the same care as its sound. Services include structural repairs, veneer work, refinishing, and French polishing, carried out with traditional techniques and modern finishing methods. The result: pianos that are as beautiful to look at as they are to play.

Piano Action

The action is the beating heart of the piano. From fixing a single sticky note to carrying out a complete action rebuild, Henry combines high-quality materials with precise regulation to achieve responsiveness, evenness, and tonal clarity. His background as a performer gives him unique insight into how a piano should feel beneath the hands, ensuring an instrument that inspires confidence and creativity.

Full Restoration

For many, a piano is a treasured heirloom—passed down through generations. A full restoration allows that legacy to continue. At The Piano Restorer, every stage is undertaken with respect for the piano’s original design, using historically appropriate techniques to balance authenticity with modern playability. Each restored piano emerges not only revitalised but also true to its unique voice and character.

With The Piano Restorer, clients can be assured of more than just repair—they gain a partner dedicated to preserving the integrity, beauty, and expressive power of their piano for generations to come.
