Q. What is involved in Tuning My Piano?
We tune the piano twice in it's first tuning to ensure the tuning is stable, then once happy with the tuning of the piano, I then work on voicing the hammers so that each note played has a consistent tonal quality.
Once I am happy with the overall result, as a Pianist myself, I will play the piano for you, to ensure you hear it's new found voice.
Or should you perhaps prefer the piano to sound brighter or a little more mellow, I will make the needed adjustments until you are pleased.
Q. Why is my Piano Not Responsive Even When I Have it Regulary Tuned?
Often the part of the piano that is most neglected, is the mechanical parts of the piano. All moving parts of your piano need to operate together consistently and precisely to achieve a uniform tone, to produce bright or mellow tones. When a piano leaves the factory, each of its parts are adjusted to a tolerance of a few tenths of a millimetre. This is called Action Regulation. Regulation attends to the touch and uniform responsiveness of the action to ensure a wide dynamic range.
