Piano restoration is a sequence of hundreds of interconnected operations. When one measurement, alignment, or adjustment is inconsistent, it can affect everything that follows.

For Gene Korolev, President and Owner of Piano Solutions XXI, precision has always been fundamental to the craft. Over decades of rebuilding fine pianos, Gene developed specialized tools and processes designed to make complex restoration work more accurate, repeatable, and controlled.

“With so many components working together, restoration cannot depend on approximation. Every operation has to be uniform, precise, and repeatable.”

From pinblock drilling and restringing to hammer preparation, action rebuilding, regulation, and voicing, each stage establishes the foundation for the next.

The technology does not replace the hand of the craftsman. It gives the craftsman greater control.

The result is consistency across thousands of components, so the finished piano can function as one complete musical instrument.
