In addition to giving your piano a full tune, Tom always spends extra time doing minor repairs, cleaning, regulating and generally looking after your piano's other needs. This is done free of charge because a real piano "tuning" involves more than just getting the strings in tune. The tone, touch, control, proper hammer striking, working dampers, lubrication, cleanliness, and appearance are all important elements in a piano's performance.

Services

Tuning: A full tuning includes putting your piano at standard pitch (A=440Hz) and insuring stability in each and every string and tuning pin.

Pitch raise: Some pianos are so flat that they require two consecutive tunings: a quick "rough" tune followed by a thorough "fine" tune.

Regulation: Making sure the parts of the piano work together properly. This will improve the feel of the piano, increase control and response, and eliminate problems like double-hitting hammers, non-working dampers, sticking keys, etc.

Repairs: This can involve fixing or replacing anything that is broken or missing, including key ivories, pedals, screws, hammers, strings, keys, action parts, hinges, knobs, etc.

Refurbishment: Includes replacing old worn felt, replacing hammers and action parts, replacing hammers or dampers, installing new keytops, restringing, pin block, soundboard, etc.

Voicing: Modifying a piano's hammers to achieve a better tone (often via softening the felt or reshaping the hammers).

Player Systems: Installation and repair of the following systems: QRS Pianomation, Pianodisc, and Disklavier

Damp Chaser Installation: Certified installer
