A piano is basically a machine like a car, but with the capability of allowing someone to create music. All machines need to be properly maintained or they will eventually break down.

We use only the finest parts, so that along with our expertise, we deliver a superior product. Our craftsmen have years of experience of dealing with fine quality instruments and take pride in their work. Contact us with any questions and for pricing.

• TUNING: We recommend tuning at least twice a year (due to climatic changes) based on use. Tuning is the turning of the tuning pins and thereby tightening of the strings, to raise or lower the pitch of the piano. When the wood of the piano shrinks or expands, the pitch will rise or drop. Tuning corrects these changes.

• PITCH RAISING: Pitch raise is when the piano has dropped in pitch significantly or when the piano has not been tuned in quite some time and has dropped in pitch from tension alone. There is an extra charge beyond simple tuning for a pitch raise since it involves more work.

• ACTION REGULATION: Regulation involves adjusting the many moving “action” parts (keys, hammers, etc.) inside the piano so that they work properly with each other to give you the best tone and feel possible. This procedure can sometimes take many hours to complete but is only necessary every 2-10 years, based on the piano and the amount of playing. Minor action regulation can be done more frequently for the more seasoned pianists.

• CLEANING: Improper cleaning can damage the piano internal mechanisms. We provide in-home piano interior cleaning. This includes cleaning and polishing of the piano’s strings, tuning pins, soundboard and harp, which will make your piano’s interior look like new. Please contact us for pricing.

• WHEN TO REBUILD AND WHY? Pianos such as old Steinways, Mason & Hamlins and Baldwins are worth the time and money to completely rebuild and refinish as these instruments are of much richer sound than new pianos. You may visit our showroom to see and hear some of our finely rebuilt pianos. Let us give you an estimate.
