Tuning & servicing for the modern piano
For a limited time, Andrew is offering free piano tunings as he trains to become a professional technician.
Help him reach his goal of tuning 80 pianos. My only request is for your word-of-mouth referrals.
Services
Tuning
The most commonly requested service is tuning because your piano reacts to the its environment over time. Shifts in humidity, temperature, and how often it is played, all affect its pitch.
The general recommendation is to have your piano tuned every 6 months to a year.
Regulation & Repairs
A piano should not sound like a banjo nor should it sound dead or tubby. Voicing is a service that restores the sound quality, timbre and evenness of tone through the entire range of the piano.
The way the piano sounds has a direct effect on how you play your instrument and how your express your musicality. It will feel different because it sounds different.
Voicing
Got sticking keys, bobbling, double strikes, heavy/light key weight, or keys that aren’t level? These are all symptoms of a piano that has fallen out of regulation and may need some maintenance.
In other cases, more involved repairs are needed. I’ll be clear and upfront with what I find in your piano.
