PIANO RESTORATION OF A RICHARD LIPP PIANO FROM SURREY
To all at Coach House Pianos,
I wanted to write to say thank you for the utterly incredible job you have done on my old Richard Lipp piano.
I knew it was in need of some TLC but a local piano dealer had told me it was not worth the money and effort, and that it should be scrapped and the money spent on a new Yamaha. I know nothing about pianos and thought I was being over sentimental about wanting to keep it simply because I had learnt how to play on it as a child. Even if it was not a great piano, it was certainly a beautiful piece of furniture. And then someone put me in touch with you. I thought a company in Wales would not be interested in such a job but gave you a call, and was I ever glad I did! Not only did you give me a valuable lesson in the history of my piano, but you reassured me that my attachment was not unreasonable.
But best of all, after three months, the piano you returned to me is better than I ever expected it could be. The ivories are back to their former glory, the woodwork and brass positively gleam, and now the workings inside have been restored to their original glorious state, the tone is truly wonderful.
It's very hard to explain how grateful - and overwhelmed - I am by the level of piano restoration you have provided. It is beyond what I hoped for and I am eternally grateful for all you have done. Hopefully you will be around when it needs its next overhaul in 100 years time!
With thanks to all at the workshop, and your lovely delivery guys who took as much care of it in transition as you did in the workshop.
