Certificate of expertise of your piano

You will then have a certificate attesting to the value and costs necessary to restore your piano:

• This document is mandatory in the event of damage to your piano, which is covered by your home insurance or the mover's insurance . We will determine the consequences related to the accident that occurred at the piano (water damage/flooding, fall during a piano transport, misuse by a minor, etc.).

• This document is recommended in the context of an inheritance, in order to value the property in its original condition and to certify its value to the heirs.

• When you receive a family piano (or before transporting it), you will be able to determine the costs necessary to find and keep an instrument that will delight new generations.

No repair is carried out without an estimate issued by Pianos Schaeffer, which will exhaustively determine the technical operations in order of priority.
