The Curtis Family Piano!

The Curtis Family Piano!

I grew up in a family of nine children. All of us were given the opportunity to learn to play the piano. I was surrounded by music and music was a part of my life everyday. My children were also taught to play the piano and some excelled in piano and some in other forms of music. My grandchildren ages 3-14 are now learning piano and all play at different levels. We don’t have any concert pianist yet, but have many competent pianist who can play for congregations and accompany vocalists. Just over two years ago I fell and fractured my skull causing a traumatic brain injury that required brain surgery. The doctors told me to do normal things as much as possible to get my brain to reconnect and help in my recovery. I try to play my piano everyday but I still struggle, get discouraged and wonder if having it tuned would help make it more enjoyable. I dont think I’ll ever be the pianist in church again but I still enjoy playing and I especially enjoy sharing and playing with my grandchildren.

My mother always wanted a player piano and in my youth she purchased this Standard (New York) Player Piano. From a young age I took lessons and practiced on this piano. The memory of 36 grandchildren pumping out tune after tune on this piano will always be cherished. The grandkids of all ages would line up with their chosen scroll for their turn to play and as they waited would sing along to whatever song was playing. We had some pretty ruckus sing-a-longs around this piano. I have inherited this piano and would love to see my grandchildren enjoy it too. Unfortunately it no longer holds air when pumped and is almost impossible to get the scrolls rolling. I do still play it as a regular piano but it is so out of tune I often think I’m hitting the wrong key and when my grandchildren visit they are eager to play their recital pieces and it is used to show off their skills as they also develop there love for music.

"I have a 45 year old piano that has a great deal of sentimental value as it is the piano my dad gave me as a young girl. Me and my children have learned to love and play music at this piano. Unfortunately, the piano had taken a beating as we have moved cross country multiple times. My dad recently passed away and I wanted to restore the piano. A friend of mine recommended Brigham Larson Pianos and I’m so glad she did. The entire restoration process has been amazing. They listened to what I wanted, made recommendations and kept me updated every step of the way. Today they delivered my piano and I am thrilled with the restoration! It is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what I envisioned! From pickup to delivery the people at Brigham Larson Pianos have been extraordinary! Thank you for restoring a piece of my childhood and a piece of my heart. It is beautiful!" —Kellie Bray

"I can't say enough good things about Brigham Larson Pianos. I inherited a baby grand piano that no one else wanted because it needed significant refurbishing. I researched my options thoroughly. I called all over the country to get estimates. Then someone recommended Brigham Larson, which was just a town away. Not only was Brigham's estimate very reasonable compared to other restorers, but the customer service was incredible. Brigram and his whole staff were great to work with. They kept me informed all along the way. And my piano turned out gorgeous! It looks beautiful and sounds fantastic! Thank you, Brigham Larson, for brining my piano back to life! It will be treasured by family for several more generations!" —Bonnye Wallace

"Brigham Larson is by far the best place for piano restoration! The entire team was kind and informative throughout the process. I was able to meet with Brigham personally and talk about the best options for restoration vs. refurbishment of a 100yr heirloom piano. I never felt pressured to do one or the other. He was honest and truly an expert. We were able to put together a custom plan to fit our family’s needs. The sound and quality is amazing. Highly recommend!" - Amy Card
