The Jorgensen/Larsen Family Piano!

The Jorgensen/Larsen Family Piano!

My name is Jane Jorgensen Larsen and I inherited our family piano, which is need of restoration.  The piano was the start of a musical legacy, which includes 35 pianists, 17 other instruments played by family members, most all of the four generations of the Jorgensen family sing or have other musical abilities.

My parents, Phil &Nina Jorgensen, were high school sweethearts. They both would tell us that during their dating years they fell in love the moment they began singing harmonies together.  They married in 1945 and purchased our 1903 Schiller upright grand piano in 1955.  My oldest brother Greg started taking lessons bringing this beautiful instrument to life.  Within a short time it became the heart of our home. Eventually my seven and I were all added to our amazing piano teacher, La Var Jenson’s list of students. Practicing for lessons, preparing piano or vocal numbers for school, church, community programs, and simple enjoyment as well, our piano brought joy for over 65 years before being moved to storage in 2021 out of necessity. I always say my parent’s were born with music in their bones. And have passed it down to us. Their love of music created a family legacy that lives on, now spanning 4 generations. Beautiful music is magical, having the capacity to heal hearts and change lives. We are so blessed to have grown up in a home where we had the opportunity to gather together around our piano during celebrations. This beautiful piano has been a big part of so many lives. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.

"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
