Custom Sourcing
This is a special service offered by Inside Pianos for those on a quest for a piano matched perfectly to their wishes. In essence, this option allows a buyer the chance to provide (verrrry specific) search parameters and set us to work making it so. Restoration is catered according to the buyer's wishes. Want a warm, mellow-sounding piano? Let's talk about hammer choices. Couldn't care less about the case? Great, that'll give us more options. Picky about the finish? We can accommodate that too.
With this service you get let into the story of your piano's journey to your hands. You'll receive pictures and progress reports throughout the restoration, building a connection with your instrument even before it's in your home. Your piano may even get a little bit YouTube famous on our channel!
Pianos are sourced from the wild (wholesalers or classified ads) or selected from the high-potential core pianos already on hand. Reach out if this sounds exciting to you!
Here's what one custom sourcing client had to say at the end of the process:
"I became familiar with Ben’s work on Baldwin grands through Inside Pianos’ YouTube channel and subsequent email exchanges with him. When I decided to upgrade my then-current piano, I asked Ben to find and rebuild a Baldwin F, as I had loved that model since I was in high school. He was very generous with his time as we discussed various options and possibilities. He found and purchased a model F (originally built in 1961) and then rebuilt it according to our discussions. The result is exactly what I’d hoped for and I could not be happier. I no longer look at another beautiful piano wishing it was mine. Why would I? I have my dream piano exactly as I imagined it." --David in KY
