I have a piano that is about 120 years old. I love the way it looks. Most of the piano keys are in fairly good shape, but I'm guessing most would need to replaced internally to keep it. Is it even worth it to consider restringing a piano like this? How much does a project like this cost?

What’s the cost for someone to restring a baby grand?
The price can vary, but typically it is in the $2500 - $3000 range.

By the way, I'm a violinist and I have to change the strings on my instrument and do occasional minor repairs to it.
Typically on average the cost of new strings and tuning pins would be around $800.
Please describe further. How is the sound quality?
howward have u ever tuned boston piano
Yes, I have tuned many Boston pianos. They are good instruments.
howardpianoind me too however after I tuned them for a week they go out of tune again so I wonder their stability is bad?
I haven't had this problem before with the Boston pianos.
@@jack-j3q Same here. They really don't stay in tune, and I wonder if it's poor seasoning or the wood, or construction
The pin block must have acquired some cracks some how. Boston pianos have the best 11-ply pin blocks in the industry!@@P408-c5g
