At Marinus van Prattenburg’s we also restore the early forte piano.

Interior 1805 John Broadwood & Son

Many early forte pianos and square pianos have gone through our workshop.

Some as old as the 1780’s.

We are proud to be referred to as Western Canada’s foremost restorer of early pianos.

Parts no longer available for these instruments are painstakingly handcrafted in our shop.  

Restorations are executed with the highest concern for historic value, utilizing parts of authenticity only.

Several of our restored forte pianos and square pianos have been used in concert and broadcast by pianists of international fame.

However, we reserve the right to decline restoration projects of which we feel that the historic appearance and performance will be infringed upon.

Our philosophy is that any object of antiquity should be restored and preserved as true as possible for future generations.
