At Forte Piano Co., our piano refinishing process is designed to restore your instrument’s beauty and protect its craftsmanship.

 

Our refinishing service involves several meticulous stages:

​

• Removal of the old finish using specialized chemicals, followed by washing the case to eliminate any chemical residue.

• A thorough inspection of the piano’s cabinet, legs, parts, and veneers to identify and repair any damages. Our expert woodworkers handle all necessary repairs, including sanding, patching, and gluing in preparation for staining and priming.

• Custom staining is applied to all wood surfaces, carefully layered to achieve the desired wood tone and texture. We also perform grain filling, a crucial step that fills the wood’s pores, resulting in a smooth, flawless finish.

• Lacquer sealer coats are applied to protect the wood and set the foundation for the final lacquer layers.

• The piano is finished with multiple lacquer coats, each meticulously sanded to ensure a flawless, glowing lustre.

• Once the finish has dried, we carefully reassemble the piano, polishing all hardware—whether brass or nickel—for a refined and elegant result.

 

Our attention to detail ensures that your piano is not only restored to its original glory but also preserved for years to come with a stunning, durable finish.
