Maintenance Piano Tuning
$180.00

A Maintenance Piano Tuning refers to a less intensive tuning process that is typically used when a piano has been tuned recently—usually within the last 6 months. It is applied to adjust the piano's pitch in a more subtle manner, often when the instrument's tuning is still relatively stable, but has experienced some slight shifts due to temperature or humidity changes, or normal playing.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Recent Tuning: A light tuning is only performed when the piano has been tuned recently, typically within 6 months. This is because, within that time frame, the strings and overall tension of the piano have not deviated too far from their ideal state. If the piano hasn't been tuned for a while, a more comprehensive tuning (or even a pitch raise) may be necessary.

  2. Minor Adjustments: Instead of making major pitch corrections or adjusting large sections of the tuning, a light tuning involves fine-tuning individual notes or small groups of notes that might have shifted slightly. The tuner will typically use a tuning fork or electronic tuner to ensure the notes are in tune but won't need to go over the entire piano’s tuning system as thoroughly as in a standard tuning.

  3. Preserving the Tuning Stability: This kind of tuning is usually done to maintain the stability of the piano's tuning and prevent it from drifting too far out of tune, while not over-stressing the piano's tuning pins or the strings.

  4. Reasons for Light Tuning:

    • Minor fluctuations: Changes in humidity and temperature over the past few months can cause small changes in the pitch of the strings.

    • Maintenance: A light tuning helps to ensure that the piano stays in good shape between more thorough tuning sessions.

    • Cost-effectiveness: A light tuning is quicker and generally less expensive than a full tuning, which makes it a good option for pianos that don’t require a full adjustment but still need some attention.

I M P O R T A N T

If the piano has not been tuned for years or is significantly out of tune, a Pitch Correction + Fine Tuningis usually necessary to restore the instrument to its proper pitch.

Pitch Correction + Fine Tuning
Sale Price: $320.00 Original Price: $360.00

If your piano hasn’t been tuned in more than two years, it will likely have dropped significantly in pitch. In these cases, a pitch raise is required to bring the instrument back up to standard tuning before a fine tuning can be completed. This two-step process ensures a more stable and longer-lasting result.

After that a Maintenance Piano Tuning every six months offers several benefits that help maintain its quality, longevity, and performance. Here are the key advantages:

1. Preserves Sound Quality

• Regular tuning ensures your piano produces a clear, accurate, and harmonious sound. Over time, temperature and humidity changes can cause strings to stretch and detune.

2. Maintains Structural Integrity

• Keeping the piano in tune reduces unnecessary tension on the strings, soundboard, and frame, helping prevent long-term structural damage.

3. Enhances Playability

• A well-tuned piano responds better to touch and dynamics, making it more enjoyable and easier to play, especially for musicians who rely on accurate tone and pitch.

4. Protects Against Humidity Fluctuations

• Seasonal changes affect the wood and metal components of the piano. Regular tuning helps compensate for these environmental impacts.

5. Increases Lifespan

• Consistent maintenance ensures your piano stays in good condition for years, delaying the need for expensive repairs or replacements.

6. Supports Musical Growth

• Playing on an out-of-tune piano can negatively affect a musician’s ear training and performance. Keeping the piano in tune promotes better learning and development for players of all levels.

7. Preserves Resale Value

• Pianos with a history of regular tuning are more attractive to buyers and retain their value better.

By tuning your piano every six months, you protect your investment and enjoy consistent musical excellence.

Piano Cleaning, Detailing & Polishing Bundle
Sale Price: $150.00 Original Price: $400.00

Piano cleaning and detailing offer several key benefits that help maintain both the aesthetic and functional quality of your instrument. Regular cleaning can extend the lifespan of the piano, preserve its value, and improve its sound quality. Here are the top benefits of piano cleaning and detailing:

1. Preserves the Appearance

  • Restores Shine and Luster: Over time, dust, fingerprints, and grime can dull the finish of your piano. Professional cleaning and detailing can restore its original shine, giving it a polished, like-new appearance.

  • Protects the Finish: Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of dirt and oils that can cause the piano's finish to fade, crack, or deteriorate. Piano detailing often includes waxing, which provides a protective layer that keeps the wood and lacquer looking fresh.

2. Enhances Sound Quality

  • Improves Resonance: Dust and debris can accumulate in various parts of the piano, including the action and keyboard, affecting its sound. Cleaning these areas ensures that the piano produces a cleaner, more resonant tone.

  • Removes Debris from the Strings: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the strings and inside the action, dampening the sound and affecting the piano's timbre. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, allowing the piano to sound clearer and more vibrant.

  • Cleaner Pedals and Action: Piano detailing includes cleaning the pedals, hammers, and other internal components that can affect the touch and responsiveness of the piano. A cleaner action results in a smoother playing experience and a more dynamic response.

3. Prolongs the Life of the Piano

  • Prevents Wear and Tear: Regular cleaning helps reduce the buildup of dust and dirt, which can lead to wear on internal components like the action, strings, and pedals. By removing debris, you prevent unnecessary friction and wear, extending the lifespan of these critical parts.

  • Protects Moving Parts: Pianos have many intricate moving parts, and dirt and dust can cause them to function improperly or wear out more quickly. Cleaning and detailing helps ensure that the moving parts operate smoothly and efficiently, which can reduce the need for costly repairs down the road.

4. Improves Playability

  • Smoother Key Action: Dust and grime can affect the keys and action mechanism, making the piano feel sluggish or uneven. Cleaning the keys and action system helps restore a smoother, more responsive touch.

  • Better Pedal Functionality: Dirt and dust can clog up the pedal mechanism, making it harder to use. Cleaning and detailing help ensure that the pedals function smoothly and consistently, enhancing the overall playing experience.

5. Protects Health

  • Reduces Allergens: Dust, pet hair, and other allergens can accumulate on the piano, particularly in hard-to-reach areas like the action and strings. Regular cleaning removes these allergens, which can be especially helpful for people with allergies or respiratory issues.

  • Clean Surface for Playing: The piano keys can accumulate oils and dirt from hands, which not only makes the instrument look unappealing but can also transfer onto your skin. Cleaning the keys removes these substances, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment for playing.

6. Maintains the Piano’s Value

  • Retains Aesthetic Value: If you plan to sell or pass down the piano, a well-maintained and regularly cleaned piano will be worth more. Regular cleaning preserves both the appearance and functionality of the instrument, helping to maintain or even increase its resale value.

  • Protects Antique Pianos: For older, vintage, or antique pianos, cleaning and detailing are especially important for maintaining their integrity. Antique pianos can accumulate years of dust, grime, and wear that, if left untreated, can degrade their structure and sound quality. Professional cleaning helps protect and preserve these valuable instruments.

7. Enhances the Playing Experience

  • Visual Appeal: A beautifully cleaned piano is more enjoyable to play. A shiny, well-maintained piano invites you to play more often, as it looks inviting and impressive. This can be especially important for pianists who perform in front of others.

  • Increased Motivation: Playing on a clean, well-maintained instrument can inspire more practice and create a greater sense of connection to the piano. The feeling of playing on a "new" or well-cared-for instrument can make the experience more enjoyable.

8. Restores Functionality of Delicate Areas

  • Cleaning the Interior Components: Piano detailing often includes cleaning the action, hammers, and strings. These areas are crucial for performance, and removing dust, grime, and debris helps keep them functioning at their best.

  • Action Regulation: A detailed cleaning of the piano’s action mechanism helps restore its responsiveness. Any parts that have become gummed up with dirt or oils can be cleaned or regulated to ensure that the keys and hammers function smoothly.

9. Prevents Long-Term Damage

  • Cleansing Moisture and Humidity: Moisture buildup, especially in regions with fluctuating humidity, can lead to mold or mildew, which can severely damage the interior of the piano. Regular cleaning, particularly by professionals who understand humidity issues, can help prevent this kind of damage by keeping the instrument dry and well-maintained.

  • Avoids Moth and Rodent Infestation: Dusty, neglected pianos, especially in basements or attics, can become homes for pests like moths or rodents. Regular cleaning helps prevent these types of infestations that can damage the instrument and internal components.

10. Professional Detailing Improves Overall Maintenance

  • Comprehensive Inspection: When you have your piano professionally cleaned and detailed, it’s also an opportunity for the technician to inspect the piano for other issues. They can identify minor problems early on, such as sticking keys, misaligned pedals, or minor repairs that need attention before they become bigger (and costlier) issues.

  • Maintenance Check-Up: Piano cleaning often comes with a maintenance check-up, where the technician can ensure that the piano is in top shape, which could include minor tuning adjustments or action regulation.

Conclusion

Piano cleaning and detailing go beyond just making your instrument look good; they have a profound impact on its performance, longevity, and overall enjoyment. Whether you have a grand, upright, or even a digital piano, keeping it clean ensures that it continues to sound its best, plays smoothly, and maintains its aesthetic appeal for years to come. Regular cleaning is an essential part of piano care that protects your investment, enhances your playing experience, and preserves the piano's value—both musically and financially.

Precision Piano Repair Evaluation
$180.00

Every piano repair begins with an expert evaluation. Because no two pianos age the same way, accurate diagnosis is essential before repair recommendations can be made.

During this service, a comprehensive inspection is performed to identify mechanical, structural, and performance-related concerns affecting your instrument. Following the evaluation, you will receive a detailed explanation of the findings along with professional repair recommendations and a written estimate.

Our goal is not simply to fix the symptom, but to restore the instrument to the highest level of performance possible. Many performance-related issues are often linked to regulation, voicing, or environmental conditions. When appropriate, recommendations may include corrective services designed to restore the piano to factory specifications and concert-level performance.

This service is ideal for grand and upright pianos experiencing mechanical issues, inconsistent touch, unusual noises, sticking keys, broken components, or reduced performance.

CUSTOM REPAIR PLAN INCLUDED

Every piano is unique. The following are some of the most common repair and restoration services we perform on grand and upright pianos.

Wear patterns, environmental conditions, previous repairs, and overall piano condition all influence the scope of work required. A professional evaluation ensures accurate recommendations, transparent pricing, and the best long-term outcome for your instrument.

Complete Piano Regulation
$1,500.00

A complete piano regulation refers to the comprehensive process of adjusting and fine-tuning the various mechanical components of a piano to ensure optimal performance, touch, and sound. It involves making precise adjustments to the action, pedals, and other parts of the piano that directly affect how the instrument plays and responds. Here’s an overview of what a complete piano regulation includes:

1. Key Height and Key Dip

  • Key height: Ensuring all the keys are level, with consistent height across the keyboard.

  • Key dip: Adjusting the depth that each key sinks when pressed to ensure a consistent feel and responsive action.

2. Action Regulation

  • Hammer regulation: Adjusting the hammers so they strike the strings at the correct angle and with appropriate velocity, ensuring proper touch and tone. This includes:

    • Hammer height: Ensuring the hammer is the correct distance from the strings.

    • Hammer travel: Adjusting the distance the hammer moves when a key is pressed, optimizing sound and feel.

    • Hammer pressure: Ensuring the hammers are not too hard or too soft for proper response.

  • Let-off (drop): Adjusting the point at which the hammer is released from the escapement mechanism (to allow the hammer to hit the string).

  • Escapement regulation: Ensuring that the hammer "escapes" from the jack at the right moment to allow for a clean strike on the strings.

3. Dampers

  • Damping regulation: Ensuring the dampers correctly lift off the strings when the pedal is pressed, and return to mute the strings when the pedal is released.

  • Damper height and travel: Adjusting the damper's ability to engage and disengage the strings at the right time.

4. Pedal Regulation

  • Sustain pedal: Adjusting the action of the sustain pedal so it raises the dampers uniformly, allowing all the strings to resonate when the pedal is pressed.

  • Soft pedal (una corda): Ensuring the soft pedal works properly by shifting the action or hammers to produce a softer sound.

  • Sostenuto pedal: If applicable, adjusting the sostenuto pedal to ensure only the notes that are held down when the pedal is pressed remain sustained.

5. Action Alignment

  • Jack and repetition spring adjustment: Ensuring the repetition mechanism works smoothly, allowing the hammer to strike quickly and repeatedly if necessary.

  • Regulation of the balance rail and backcheck: Adjusting the components to ensure a smooth and consistent return of the keys and hammers.

6. Regulation of the Escapement Mechanism

  • Escapement: Fine-tuning the escapement to allow the hammer to leave the string cleanly, enabling a smooth, responsive touch.

7. Touch Weight (Touch Regulation)

  • Touch weight: Adjusting the resistance of the keys to suit the player's preference, ensuring the piano feels neither too heavy nor too light to play. This involves adjusting the action parts to create a uniform touch across the keyboard.

8. Pedal Action

  • Pedal height and travel: Adjusting the amount of travel required for each pedal to function properly.

  • Pedal alignment: Ensuring that the pedals move smoothly and operate consistently.

9. Lubrication

  • Proper lubrication of key action parts, pivots, and other moving components to ensure smooth, quiet, and responsive action.

10. Fine-Tuning and Voicing

  • After regulation, a technician may also adjust the voicing (the tonal quality of the hammers) and perform fine-tuning (if necessary) to match the regulated action to the overall sound and touch of the instrument.

11. String Height and Regulation

  • Ensuring the correct string height (distance between the string and the hammers) is maintained for consistent sound production.

12. Check for Overall Condition

  • Inspecting other components such as the piano’s pedals, strings, and case for wear, and making any necessary adjustments.

13. Final Touch-Up

  • After completing the regulation, the piano technician will often test and fine-tune the overall action, making any final adjustments to balance, touch, and sound.

A complete regulation ensures that all parts of the piano's action work together smoothly and efficiently, improving both the responsiveness and the tonal quality of the instrument. This process is important for maintaining the long-term playability and sound quality of the instrument.

Concert Piano Voicing
$500.00
