Repairs and restoration services are offered in our shop at a rate of $110.00 an hour, plus cost of parts and tax (if applicable). The average simple repair takes 4-8 hours. More than likely, a piano that needs restoration will need lots of love and care, which can lead to 10+ hours of work. Generally our restorations are 15 to 25 hours.

Tine Restoration Cleaning Service
Vintage Vibe is offering a state of the art tine cleaning service. We can bring back the luster and shine of your tines no matter how oxidized they are. Our service will also prohibit future oxidation.
Our method is the best way to clean heavily oxidized or rusted tines as it works on closing in and protecting the surface of the metal. Using anything that scratches the surface metal finish only opens up the pores to attract moisture and oxidation such as scotch brite.
Note: If rust has pitted the tine cleaning will not remove pitting, but it will shine the tines everywhere like new. Turn around time is 2 weeks or less.
Cost is $4.00 per tine.

Amplifier Repairs
Vintage Vibe has designed a new modern line of classic amplifiers for the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer Electric Pianos and the Hohner Clavinet. We found it absolutely necessary to revive these classic electric pianos with new amps. As a specialized repair center, we saw nothing but the ill effects of time on these once great pianos.
We came to a point when we realized repairing them was just not doing anyone any favors. Now with our new line of sleek and sound amplifiers, it clearly makes sense to replace as opposed to repairing. This brings peace of mind to us and our clients.
