🎹 Something is launching soon at Nick's Piano Services — and I want to get this in front of you before it goes live.
For a long time, the only way to know what was in the workshop was to ask. That's not a great system. I'm fixing it.

🔔 COMING SOON: Online Piano Catalogue
──────────────────────────
A live, real-time listing of every instrument I'm actively working on — accessible from any device, no account needed. Each listing will include:
✦ Full instrument history and verified provenance
✦ Honest condition and tonal assessment — what it actually sounds and plays like
✦ Finish details and restoration scope completed
✦ Transparent pricing — no negotiation theater
✦ Live status: Available Now / Coming Soon / Currently Being Restored
✦ Photos updated as work progresses
Current workshop inventory includes 10 instruments at various stages. A few worth noting:
🏛 A pre-1850 Victorian London upright — serial-dated to two years before the Great Exhibition of 1851, built by Collard & Collard during the firm's peak production period
👑 A late 1890s Weber upright — Royal Warrant holder to King Alphonso XIII of Spain, pre-Aeolian acquisition, original ownership era
🎵 A c.1907 Mathushek Cunningham — manufacturer-stamped New Haven scale, Philadelphia Cunningham dealer provenance, connected to the same house associated with George Gershwin
🎹 A 1984 American-made Baldwin — Jasper Corporation Indiana era, one of the last fully domestic production runs before the brand changed hands
🌿 Two Kimball uprights — both headed for custom high-gloss finishes. The right color treatment on an instrument like this produces a result that sits in a completely different market than a standard restored upright.
🎶 A late 1950s Hardman Peck player piano — documented White House instrument under FDR, official piano of the Metropolitan Opera, working player mechanism intact
Every instrument has been fully evaluated before listing — structural assessment, mechanical condition, action regulation, and voicing — not just cleaned and photographed.

The catalogue is a direct line to the work. No middlemen. No auction markup. No guessing.

Inquiries come straight to me. If something fits what you're looking for — a home instrument, a studio piece, a statement installation — we have a conversation and figure it out.
A note worth adding: a portion of everything I do funds Keys for Kids — my initiative placing restored instruments in schools, churches, and families across Central Florida who don't have access to one. A purchase from this catalogue puts a piano in your home and helps put one somewhere it genuinely changes things.
