L&H Grand restores and reimagines pianos as timeless companions
At L&H Grand, we don’t see pianos as commodities; we see them as living artifacts with memories, resonance, and personality. Each instrument carries its own story, shaped by the hands that have played it and the places it has travelled. Our role is to give these classics new life, and to connect them with musicians, venues, and collectors who will cherish them.
When asked to restore a piano, whether it’s a concert grand or an upright, it is always personal to us and our goal is always the same: to restore the piano so it once was when it was new. It’s not about creating something that is beautiful. It’s about restoring the original character and charm of the piano. For us, it’s all about respect and performance. It’s not just a new lease on life, it’s a second season. It’s about how, ultimately, every piano’s story is unique. It’s the sound and soul of everything we do.
Our philosophy rejects the transactional. We seek custodians who understand these instruments are borrowed from history. You don’t own the piano—you care for it, play it, let it sing, then pass it forward enriched by your touch.
Every piano carries documented history from concert halls to private salons. We don’t just lease instruments; we connect you with living artefacts. Each comes with its provenance, restoration story, and the hands that played it before yours.
Marcus Hawley and Paul Leverett bring decades of restoration expertise to every instrument. From soundboard repairs to action regulation, each piano undergoes meticulous restoration—preserving its soul while ensuring modern playability.
