Restoration timelines vary a lot depending on scope. Replacing wear parts like strings and hammer felt alone usually takes about two to three weeks; work involving core structural parts like the soundboard or pinblock, plus a full cabinet refinish, can take two to three months.

Before committing to a restoration, it's worth asking the workshop for a staged timeline with milestones, rather than just a vague “roughly how long” — that gives a clearer sense of progress and makes it easier to plan practice arrangements for the interim.
