1915 Hallet & Davis Player Piano

Complete restoration of a 1915 Hallet & Davis Player Piano

This piano has a Mahogany case and has a Simplex Player action. It's 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!
