Phenoyd and I have been friends and professional collaborators for a quarter century. He is my constant refinisher of choice.

Classic Woods is a second-generation company, first started in the ’60’s, then re-established in 1997, in Van Nuys, California. Phenoyd Ezra picked up what he refers to as “old-world craftsmanship” growing up in a company owned by his father.

Classic Woods is known throughout the Western United States for its tradition of excellence. With a consistent output of custom-quality work for two generations, they provide expert piano refinishing in all conceivable styles and color ranges. Standards are constantly rising, and our clients are secure in the knowledge they’re receiving true, long-lasting value. Phenoyd has finished DAP pianos for Oscar-winning composer Marco Beltrami, two custom-made Steinway semi-concert grands for Saint Olaf’s college, and an award-winning “deep purple “finish for art collector and philanthropist Robert Goldschein.
