Regular tuning of your piano keeps it at the same pitch as the music you hear and the piano you play at lessons or concerts.
Pianos are stringed musical instruments, string tension varies with temperature, humidity, and changes in location.
Tuning is recommended at least once a year, and after any change of your piano’s location.
We tune all types of pianos in all settings, whether it be your personal in home piano or at a music school.
Piano Regulation
Regulating your piano corrects the playing mechanism malfunctions and allows your piano to operate musically without any distractions to the player.
There are over 8000 moving parts within a piano, slight misalignment of one part can impact another part causing a disruption with the play-ability of your piano.
Regulation is recommended at least once every 5 years, to maintain the internal functionality of your piano.
Regular maintenance can forestall any developing long term problems within the piano action and correct existing issues for the pianist.

Voicing softens hammer felts and allows warmth back into the pianos sound.
After repeated playing of the piano, hammer felt becomes dense and rigid, creating quite a harsh key tone.

A piano’s voice is the tone created through the combination of the instruments individual musical quality and hammer felt texture.
