The Chipman Family Piano!

The Chipman Family Piano!

I had a few piano lessons when I was little, and always enjoyed playing music so as I got older, I taught myself by reading through the lesson books we had. I enjoy playing for fun still. I’m the current primary pianist in our church and keep the family entertained at parties and holidays. My children are now getting old enough to learn and have the same love for music, taking lessons and enjoying playing on it in their free time as well, whether from a book, picking out tunes in their memory or creating their own ideas. 

I had ancestors immigrate from Brazil. When they moved to the United States, they wanted a piano for their home. They were able to purchase a used piano. That piano has since been passed down to my grandmother, then to my aunt’s, and now to me. I believe I am the third generation to own it. When my grandmother had it, it just had a clear stain on the oak. She had asked her brother to repaint it for her, so he tried his hand at woodgrain painting. When I received it, my father helped me to get it tuned up a bit more and unstick some keys so that we can enjoy it in our home. It has definitely seen some years, with chipped, paint, and chipped keys, but still enjoyed nonetheless. I would love to see it get the restoration that it deserves with all the joy its provided for us.

"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
