About Us

We like to compare owning a piano to owning a classic car. Owning an older piano will generally require more than just a ‘tune up’ annual tuning. Older parts get fatigued and worn out and in need of regulation and that is where we specialize! We at Mr. Restoration, LLC have over 10 years experience in doing frame off restorations to make 100+ year old pianos look and play better than they did when they were new!

We work on all pianos: uprights to grands, and we are not intimidated by square grands; in fact, squares are our specialty.

But our most specialized and unique service we off at Mr. Restoration is harp repair. If your piano has a catastrophic failure where the harp (also called plate) cracks or breaks, then you have probably been told that the instrument, no matter how much it means sentimentally or monetarily to you, is not able to be or not worth fixing. We successfully revitalized and combined methods of vehicle restoration and building restoration to fix cast iron harps to withhold the tension required to tune the piano.

Our Services

Our shop in located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Knoxville, TN but we service the greater East and Middle TN areas for field work and we have transportation services for restoration projects that we do in house so we accept restorations from around the country! We have over 10 years in transporting and safely moving pianos of all styles. We do not have a storefront so if you want to visit us, we can set up an appointment and give you our address at that time.

Piano Restoration

With this service, the piano will go through the full restoration. We will take it to our shop and deconstruct the piano to address any and all issues the instrument has. Every part and piece will be thoroughly repaired. It will be regulated and restrung with new strings. The case will also be refinished!

In Field/Technician Work

If your piano looks great but has slight issues such as a tuning, sticky keys, that one note feels off, or a simple buzz that you can’t locate the problem, this service is for you! The in field/technician’s service is where we come to you and fix simple issues in house. No need to ship your priceless instrument to be worked on!

Furniture Repair/Refinish

We love antiques of all sizes and shapes! With our capabilities to refinish pianos, we can also refinish your priceless furniture. Everyone has that one piece that they cannot let go, but we all wonder what did it look like once before? We would love to work with you on any furniture project you have in mind! 

Piano Restoration

Once the piano is functioning again, it will be reassembled, brought back to its home and given a touch up regulation and tuning. With this service we can also put in a player system! And of course we can make a restoration package that suites your needs. Not every piano needs to be completely restored; maybe you want your piano to be preserved to keep the instrument as you remember it as a child or you only want the inside of the piano redone (soundboard, bridges, harp repainted and lettered, new tuning pins, pinblock addressed, action rebuild and regulated) That way you have a new motor in your classic but you keep the patina of the cabinet.

I hired these skilled guys to fix a large walnut island top I botched with cheap epoxy. They removed my attempt and made a beautiful clear epoxy finish so I can see the beautiful wood grain. They honored their price and timeline that was agreed to and I will definitely use them again!
