Piano Tuning
I tune stringed keyboard instruments which include grand. I tune to concert pitch (A440) and, with regular tunings, will maintain your piano at this pitch. I can also tune to other pitches on request.
When tuning a piano I am constantly checking the action to ensure that it is working efficiently. I will make adjustments to the regulation as I proceed with the tuning and, where appropriate, will advise on any further work needed to improve the responsiveness of touch.
Piano Keys Regulation
Correct regulation is essential to you obtaining the most satisfaction from your piano. Most pianos will play, but it is the manner in which the action responds to your touch, which will give you most pleasure.
The keys ought to feel as light as possible with each piano having its own individual feel. When you play a chord, all the notes ought to play with the same pressure delivered from each finger even when played lightly.
Piano Repair
I carry out minor repairs according to the situation:
- Replacing broken hammers.
- Replacing broken strings.
- Replacing the springs.
- Key repair.
- Reinforcement of the tuning pins (with bushings).
