About AcoustiCraftFor nearly three decades, AcoustiCraft has dedicated its unique resources to the restoration and service of fine vintage and late model grand pianos. A comprehensive piano restoration facility was added in 1977 by Master Craftsman Christopher Robinson who has achieved international recognition for his work in all areas of piano remanufacture and action design. The name AcoustiCraft arose as a result of special acoustical research initiated by Chris in the late 1970s to help piano technicians better understand the complex relationships involving piano design, construction, action geometry, and the touch and sound of the instrument. This knowledge is essential to the correct and faithful restoration of vintage pianos, and is one of many reasons that AcoustiCraft is preferred over other piano rebuilders. Our Expert StaffBoth Chris and Karen Robinson have been sought-after instructors in piano rebuilding seminars nationwide. Chris, considered a preeminent leader in the piano restoration craft, was instrumental in developing new action parts for vintage pianos, following original specifications and dimensions. These parts are now being manufactured by the famous Renner factory in Stuttgart, Germany. (To find out more about Renner, click here) Chris is consulted regularly by piano industry professionals from tuners to manufacturers to solve problems connected with piano service procedures, action performance and soundboard behavior. Two of our staff are members of the Piano Technician's Guild. (To find out more about the PTG, click here.)
