Piano Services
Our services.
A closer look at every service offered — what it involves, when your instrument needs it, and what to expect.
Every piano deserves a technician who listens as closely as the pianist who plays it.
Piano tuning
Your piano is a delicate instrument, sensitive to humidity and temperature. Due to changing climatic conditions the wood expands and contracts, the soundboard’s curvature shifts, and the high tension of the strings further affects the pitch and sound. Over time, the natural wear from playing and practicing causes the piano to gradually go out of tune.
By scheduling regular tunings you’re not only treating your ears to the best possible sound — you’re also preserving the value and longevity of your instrument. Especially for musicians, enthusiasts and children, a perfectly tuned piano is essential for musical development, optimal ear training and satisfaction.
A standard piano tuning takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
Basic on-site repairs
From squeaky pedals to keys that stick, most minor repairs — including cleaning the mechanic and soundboard — can be carried out on-site during a tuning appointment, without the need for scheduling a second appointment.
Please let us now in advance, so we can plan enough time to properly take care of any issues.
Voicing
When a piano is played frequently or reaches a certain age the hammers harden, and the strings carve grooves into the hammer felt, resulting in an uneven and harsh tone. This makes it harder to achieve an even, soft and delicate tone, limiting your piano’s and your own pianistic expressive potential.
It’s time to have the hammers voiced. Our expert voicing service brings back the warmth and balance your piano deserves. Through precise reshaping and density adjustments of the hammer felt we remove tonal inconsistencies, so every note resonates with clarity, depth, and evenness.
Mechanical adjustment
The precise adjustment of your piano’s mechanic directly impacts its touch and tone. For harmonic consistency all 88 keys must travel the exact same distance, ensuring consistent responsiveness and clarity across the keyboard.
Annual or bi-annual regulation checks are highly recommended to maintain optimal performance. In fact, all major piano manufacturers advise yearly inspections to keep your instrument in top condition.
Concert tuning and service
With extensive experience in concert tuning and service — having prepared concert pianos for countless performances by renowned musicians and CD productions for labels such as Sony and Genuin — we ensure every instrument is brought to its absolute peak condition. Our expertise guarantees precision, reliability, refined sound, and performance-ready results for demanding artistic settings.
Silent system installation
The digital revolution has transformed the world of acoustic instruments. Silent systems let you play the piano and a wide range of digitally sampled instruments through headphones or speakers, anytime, while opening up a whole new range of digital possibilities. We specialize in seamless installations that preserve the feel and sound of your acoustic instrument without compromise. On-site service available.
Repair and restoration service
From minor repairs to complete restorations, every piano is treated with care, precision and a deep respect for its character and history. Our work combines technical expertise with a careful eye for preserving both sound and appearance. Our goal is to bring the true character back to life, restoring the sound for you and the generations to come.
Piano Life Saver System installation
Protect your piano with a professional humidifier/dehumidifier system designed specifically for long-term stability. Seasonal climatic changes can cause harmful fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which affect your piano’s tone and structure.
Wood is a living material that absorbs or releases moisture depending on humidity and temperature, so climatic fluctuations should remain within acceptable limits. The ideal climate for a piano is between 45 and 60% humidity and a room temperature of 64 to 72°F. The more constant the climate, the better it is for the instrument.
Excessive humidity can slow down the piano’s mechanism, eventually causing keys to stick, and may even lead to premature rusting of the strings. Central heating, on the other hand, often reduces humidity to levels that cause wooden components to contract, resulting in clicking noises, tuning instability, and even cracks in the soundboard.
Installing a Dampp-Chaser humidity control system gives your piano a stable, protected environment, saving you money on repairs and maintenance in the long run.
