About Us
Welcome to Ryder Restorations
At Ryder Restorations, I am passionate about breathing new life into older pianos, each filled with character and history. My mission is to help piano owners recognize the value of their instruments and to provide expert restoration and repair services that enhance both their sound and aesthetic appeal. It’s more than just fixing a piano; it’s about restoring its musical legacy for future generations to enjoy.
My Story
I, Ryder Lucas, the founder of Ryder Restorations, have always had a deep love for music and a fascination with the mechanical brilliance of pianos. After years of training and hands-on experience in the field of piano restoration, I realized a trend in the market: too many piano owners are encouraged to abandon their older instruments in favor of new, mass-produced pianos.
Determined to change that narrative, I launched Ryder Restorations, with the goal of helping piano owners restore, repair, and appreciate the unique character of their vintage pianos. My artistic vision and attention to detail come together to ensure that each project is approached with care and precision.
My Mission
In a world where new pianos might seem tempting, my goal is to educate and inspire piano owners to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of older instruments. Many vintage pianos are not only rich in history but can also deliver exceptional sound quality with the right care and attention. I am committed to showcasing that these musical treasures deserve a second life rather than being replaced.
