Comprehensive Soundboard, Bridge, & Plate Restoration for Your Piano
A well-maintained piano produces rich, vibrant tones, but over time, its soundboard, bridges, and plate can deteriorate, leading to diminished sound quality. At Clare’s Player Pianos, we specialize in piano restoration and piano refurbishing, ensuring your instrument retains its original beauty and resonance. Whether you’re looking for antique piano restoration or routine maintenance, our expert services in Dallas piano tuning and repair will keep your piano performing at its best.
Expert Soundboard Repair & Refinishing
The soundboard is the heart of your piano, amplifying sound and providing its signature tone. If your piano has cracks, weakened ribs, or faded finish, we offer:
- Soundboard Shimming, per foot – Repairing cracks to restore the board’s integrity.
- Soundboard Buttons (each) – Replacing missing or worn buttons for stability.
- Dowel or Screw Ribs to Board (each) – Strengthening the ribs to prevent future damage.
- Refinish Soundboard – Bringing back the original beauty and resonance.
Bridge Repair & Replacement
The bridges transfer vibrations from the strings to the soundboard. Over time, bridges can develop cracks, wear down, or require recapping to improve sound transmission. Our services include:
- Bass Bridge, New (Straight or Curved) – Replacing worn bass bridges to restore deep, rich tones.
- Reglue Old Bridge – Strengthening the existing bridge to prolong its lifespan.
- Treble Bridge, New (per unison) – Ensuring precise sound transfer for clear high notes.
- Treble Bridge, Recap (per unison) – Refinishing and reshaping worn bridge caps for better tonal quality.
Plate Refinishing & Cleaning
The plate provides structural support for your piano’s strings and contributes to its overall tone. Regular maintenance and refinishing prevent corrosion and enhance the instrument’s durability. Our services include:
- Rebronze Plate – Restoring the plate’s protective coating to prevent rust.
- Wash Plate – Deep cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and oxidation.
