STANDARD TUNING
Most modern pianos are tuned to a standard pitch of A440hz. A piano that has been tuned regularly, (once a year minimum), will require a “fine tuning”, reestablishing this A440 concert pitch.
PITCH RAISE
A piano that has been neglected for many years and that is very flat, will take one, possibly two pitch raises, getting the instrument acclimated to a new higher tension, before allowing for a final “fine tune”. While this presents an additional cost and a return home visit, your piano will then be in perfect A440 concert tune and on track for the recommended 6 to 12 month tunings.
Regulation
Regulation ensures that every key, hammer, and action component works together consistently. improving touch, responsiveness, and overall playability-critical for both students and advanced musicians.
RRC&T
This service addresses the Complete Piano, usually one that has been neglected or has deteriorated over time. The RRC&T is a multi- layered service with many components. Pricing is variable, depending on condition and extent of service. and is specific to your needs. Please CONTACT ME to schedule an evaluation or to discuss specifics related to RRC&T!
REBUILD
Rebuild service includes pin block duplication and restringing. In cases where a piano is no longer holding its tune, and the existing pin block is beyond repair, a rebuild may be required.
REPAIRS
The piano is a relatively complex instrument with thousands of moving parts. Even with routine maintenance, things occasionally fail. Sticking keys, a damper that is ringing out, even a squeaky pedal can make the playing experience less than enjoyable. Broken benches and wires, bridges and soundboards all need repair at one time or another. Regardless of the problem, I can fix it.
