What is Piano Tuning? Tuning an upright piano is the process of giving each sound the appropriate frequency for it. In addition, the tuner’s task is to correctly select the pitch of the sounds, so that the chords played over the span of the entire keyboard sound consistent and harmonious.

What is Piano Regulation? Regulation refers to the adjustment of the touch – the way the keys feel and respond to your playing. An important process, often neglected.

What is Piano Voicing? Voicing is the gentle manipulation of the felts surrounding the hammer heads to produce an even tone throughout the piano. Hammer felts become softened, resulting in a darker tone, or hardened to produce a brighter sound.

What's involved in a Full Service? The internal mechanism known as the action is overhauled. Parts are aligned, centred, regulated, and lubricated if necessary. Pedals are regulated and re-padded to reduce noise when in operation. Hammer heads are voiced if necessary. Anything in need of basic repair or replacement, such as Jack Springs, Tapes, Felts, Bushings, are done on location. Servicing does not involve internal or external cleaning or polishing.
