Manufacturer

The international fame that Pianos Bolduc has built over time rests first and foremost on its expertise in piano restoration, as well as in the manufacturing of high-quality soundboards and pinblocks.

The design of specialized tools was progressively developed starting in the 1980s. André and Christian Bolduc have always enjoyed creating revolutionary tools and devices aimed at rebuilding pianos with more ease, proficiency, and accuracy. Concrete demonstrations during conferences at home and abroad have made clear that those devices and components satisfy a real need among technicians.

MAPLE PINBLOCK

Since 1985, Pianos Bolduc has exported the BolducBlock pinblock, renowned throughout the world. This component has a primary function - that of retaining the tension of the entire set of strings. The laminated panels are glued together to form five crossed maple layers, thus ensuring stability and durability.

WHITE SPRUCE SOUNDBOARD

Made of selected first grade Canadian white spruce, our soundboards follow a rigorous manufacturing process that ensures stability. Great piano manufacturers have used white spruce since the very beginning of the modern piano era. It is scientifically proven that white spruce represents the wood type that best matches all the criteria for the construction of premium soundboards.

HAMMER HEAD MOLDING

Our first grade maple is used both in Europe, North America, and beyond for the manufacture of hammer shanks and head moldings.
