Carpentry Work
The goal set by SAP Renovation is to deliver world’s best piano restoration. To achieve it, each and every instrument requiring cabinet restoration undergoes a complex carpentry work process which may vary based on the actual cabinet condition. Depending on the condition of the instrument, it may require standard or extensive carpentry work.
Paint shop
SAP Renovation paint shop uses only the highest quality lacquers of lead Italian and German manufacturers resulting in extremely resistant cabinets of astonishing beauty.
Cabinet finish
Our customers may choose from a wide selection of available piano finishes. The final effect consists of two very important decisions: the color (black, veneer color, RAL color). Types of finishes: high gloss polyester, closed pore mat (gloss intensity: 30% or 60%), open pore mat, glossy French polish applied by hand in few varieties: ECO – pores closed in 70%, NATURAL – pores closed in 95%, and GLASS (polyester base) – pores closed in 100%, and WELSH – satin French polish finished with wax, pores closed in 70%.
Soundboard
Having a direct influence on acoustic properties and tone of the instrument, the soundboard is considered as the heart of every piano.
Based on condition of the existing soundboard or customer’s preferences, the soundboard may be either carefully restored or replace. SAP Renovation is able to supply soundboards of leading manufacturers from Germany and Italy.
Soundboard bridges
Piano bridges are responsible for transferring the sound from strings to the soundboard and their condition is crucial to maintain sound integrity. Based on the level of exploitation, bridge caps may be either restored or replaced. New caps are installed and chiseled by hand to match the original shape.
Pin block
The main function of pin block is to maintain tuning stability, thus, its well-being is crucial while assessing piano’s condition prior to restoration.
Iron frame
While soundboard is considered the heart of every piano, the frame serves as its skeleton. Cast iron in the piano has to resist the string pressure of up to 30 tons; hence, it is crucial to take care of frame’s wellbeing. Additionally, fine sanded iron varnished in highest quality lacquers will highlight piano’s beauty even more.
Strings
High quality strings and their professional installation reflect on the quality and strength of sound. SAP Renovation uses only strings of renowned German and French manufacturers.
Action
Condition of the action translates directly to pianist’s playing experience. Meticulously prepared action offers a freedom of musical variation. The perfectly prepared mechanism makes it possible for the pianist to play what he wants on the piano.
