Steinway Piano Restoration & Fine Grand Piano Service
Serving Washington DC, Maryland & Northern Virginia
Butler & Sons Piano Restorations specializes in the restoration, rebuilding, regulation, voicing and maintenance of Steinway & Sons and other fine grand pianos.
With decades of hands on experience restoring and servicing fine instruments, John M Butler, RPT brings a craftsman’s attention to the mechanical details that allow a great piano to perform at its best.
Steinway & Sons grand pianos are a particular specialty, but my work extends to other fine grand pianos as well.
My work ranges from tuning, regulation & voicing to action restoration, complete touch weight redesign and rebuilding. Each piano is evaluated individually, with the goal of determining what the instrument actually needs and how best to bring out its musical potential.

"Hey John - I just spent 2 hrs playing. The difference is stunning - much more in tune, MUCH more responsive - it sounds and feels fantastic. I know you said the voicing didn't turn out ideally, but I notice a significant difference, especially in the mid range (seems more full and "sings" more), and upper range (more brilliant). I am extremely pleased. It's like a new piano! I would also like you to take care of tuning and maintenance in the future."
