1915 Hallet & Davis Player Piano

                            Complete Restoration                       

 

 
 

 

  This piano is made of Mahogany and has a Simplex Player action. Its been in the customers family for a long time so they wish for it to be restored. It has been painted off white with brown streaks to simulate wood. (I assume) This is a good example to show that there's no instrument beyond restoring. No matter how bad or damaged you think it is. We can handle anything.

These are the "before" pictures:
