A Quietly Respected American Maker

Fischer & Sons was founded in the 19th century and built a reputation for dependable, good-sounding pianos with a refined aesthetic. Though they never became a household name like some of their competitors, they were quietly respected by musicians, educators, and piano technicians for their consistency and musical value.

Many of their upright and grand pianos were built in the early to mid 20th century, using solid materials and time-tested design. Over the years, thousands of these pianos were placed in schools, churches, and private homes, often lasting for generations. When properly restored, they are fully capable of delivering the kind of tone and responsiveness that makes playing a joy.

Fischer & Sons pianos tend to have a slightly mellow tone with smooth transitions across registers. They are particularly well suited to classical repertoire, light jazz, and expressive playing. Their touch is typically comfortable and reliable, with enough dynamic range to satisfy both beginners and more experienced pianists.

Why Consider a Restored Fischer & Sons?

Buying a restored Fischer & Sons means getting more piano for your money. Instead of paying for a brand-new instrument with lower-quality materials, you receive a handcrafted instrument brought back to life by a team that knows pianos inside and out.

Here are a few reasons our customers choose restored Fischers:

• Warm, balanced tone

  These pianos produce a clear yet rounded sound that works well for solo playing, ensemble work, and home practice.

  
  

• Lasting value

  Many Fischer & Sons pianos were built using durable hardwoods and cast iron plates, making them excellent candidates for restoration. With proper care, they are capable of lasting for decades to come.

  
  

• Timeless design

  From traditional cabinets to clean, understated styling, Fischer pianos look good in nearly any setting without feeling overdone or outdated.

  
  

• Responsive action

  Once reconditioned, their action supports dynamic playing and rewards expression and control.

If you are seeking a piano with character and reliable performance, a restored Fischer & Sons could be a strong contender.

How We Restore Fischer & Sons Pianos

At Pianos Now, we believe every piano we sell should be musically inspiring and mechanically reliable. That’s why all our restoration work is done in house by trained technicians who specialize in acoustic instruments. We take the time to do things right, not just for appearance but for performance.

Our restoration process typically includes:

• Structural repairs to the pinblock, soundboard, or bridges if needed

  
  

• Full regulation of the action for touch consistency and repetition

  
  

• Hammer voicing to create even tonal quality across the keyboard

  
  

• Tuning to stable A440 pitch across multiple sessions

  
  

• Cleaning, polishing, and finish touchups to restore the piano’s visual appeal

  
  

• Playtesting by a technician to ensure everything feels and sounds the way it should

We do not take shortcuts. If a piano requires new strings, new hammers, or key rebalancing, we address those needs before the piano ever leaves our shop. Our goal is to deliver something that is not only beautiful but truly ready for musical use.

Models We Commonly Restore

Fischer & Sons built a variety of uprights and small grands. Many of the pianos we restore include:

• Studio Uprights (45–48 inches tall)

  These offer rich tone and are ideal for homes, churches, and teaching studios. Their size provides stronger bass than smaller consoles.

  
  

• Spinet and Console Pianos

  More compact in size but still capable of great tone once properly restored, these are well suited to smaller homes or apartments.

  
  

• Small Grands (typically 4'11" to 5'5")

  These grands offer a more responsive touch and wider dynamic range while remaining manageable in terms of space.

Availability can change quickly, so we recommend contacting us if you are looking for a particular model or size. We often have Fischer pianos in various stages of restoration that are not yet listed online.
