a professional level.

Regulation
This is the adjustment of the 9000
or more parts of your piano action.
After many years of use these small parts loosen and friction occures. Regulating
the action can make it play smooth again.

Voicing
When a hammer strikes the string,
sound is produced. A hard hammer
produces a loud bright sound and a
soft hammer a quiet rounder sound.
Voicing is tone regulation the way
you want it.

Restringing
Usually restringing is part of the rebuilding
process but sometimes a piano needs
strings such as bass strings or when strings
are broken . We can be of service and advise you what the next step should be.

Appraisals
Appraisals can be performed for
insurance purposes, or the general
value of the selling, donation, or
purchase of a piano. We can give
an in-depth evaluation of the current condition of the instrument.
