The Chicago Electric Piano Co.

Founding Story

The Chicago Electric Piano Company was born out of a passion for vintage analog musical instruments. After years of repairing and restoring electric pianos by word of mouth in Chicago, CEPCo was officially founded by Max Brink in early 2011. Shortly thereafter, Mike Novak partnered up and the business expanded offering new services as well as an inventory of refurbished vintage instruments for sale. Their shared love for keeping vintage instruments alive, —and in some cases bringing them back from the dead— along with the ambition to continually learn new methods to perfect the art and craft of instrument restorations has driven the company’s growth.

Today, CEPCo is recognized as one of the world’s leading resources for Rhodes, Wurlitzer’s, Clavinets, and other rare electro-mechanical and analog musical instruments. With clients and visitors from around the globe, we are grateful for the hundreds that have passed through our workshop and the thousands that we have shared and exchanged knowledge of our craft with through online forums and social media platforms such as facebook and instagram.

Whether you need basic tuning or a full restoration of your instrument, The Chicago Electric Piano Co. is here to restore the vintage sound that you just can’t get enough of!
