Services
Your piano deserves the best care to sound and perform at its finest. As a professional piano technician, I provide expert tuning, regulation, repairs, and cleaning to ensure your instrument maintains its beauty, tone, and playability for years to come. Whether your piano is played daily, cherished as a family heirloom, or prepared for performance, my goal is to bring out its full potential with skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Piano Tuning
Keeping a piano regularly tuned is essential for preserving both its sound quality and its longevity. Over time, changes in temperature and humidity naturally cause the strings to shift in tension, leading to notes that sound flat or sharp. Regular piano tuning not only ensures that the instrument maintains its rich, balanced tone, but it also prevents unnecessary strain on the internal structure, protecting delicate components like the soundboard and bridges. A well-tuned piano provides a more enjoyable and accurate playing experience, whether for practice, performance, or teaching. By scheduling routine tunings, you safeguard your investment and allow the piano to deliver its full expressive potential for years to come.
Piano Repairs
90% of piano repairs are simple, common and can be quickly fixed. If left unattended, however, they may cause greater damage. If your piano is in need of repairs, contact me by phone or email for an inspection. Piano repairs are an essential part of maintaining the instrument’s sound quality, playability, and longevity. Over time, pianos experience natural wear and tear—strings may lose tension, hammers can harden or become grooved, keys may stick, and the action mechanism can fall out of regulation. Even environmental factors like humidity and temperature changes can cause wood components to swell, crack, or shift, affecting tuning stability and tone. Regular repairs and adjustments not only restore the instrument’s performance but also prevent small issues from developing into costly damage. Keeping a piano in good repair ensures it produces a rich, balanced sound, responds accurately to a player’s touch, and preserves its value as both a musical instrument and a long-term investment.
Piano Regulation
Piano regulation refers to the precise adjustment of the instrument’s action—the complex system of levers, hammers, and springs that translates the pianist’s touch into sound. Over time, felt compresses, wood shifts with humidity, and parts wear down, causing uneven key response, sluggish repetition, or diminished dynamic control. Proper regulation restores consistency, ensuring that each key responds evenly, allowing the pianist to fully express dynamics, articulation, and tonal shading. Without regular regulation, even a well-tuned piano can feel unresponsive or frustrating to play, limiting both musicality and enjoyment. Keeping a piano properly regulated not only enhances performance quality but also extends the life of the instrument by reducing unnecessary wear on its mechanical parts.
Piano Cleaning
Regular piano cleaning is essential for preserving both the instrument’s appearance and its performance quality. Dust, fingerprints, and debris can accumulate on the keys, strings, and soundboard, affecting the piano’s sound and potentially causing long-term damage if left unchecked. Proper cleaning helps maintain the smooth action of the keys, prevents dirt from seeping into delicate mechanisms, and protects the finish from dulling or scratching. Since pianos are often centerpieces in homes, keeping them clean also enhances their aesthetic presence. By establishing a routine of gentle dusting, wiping keys with a soft cloth, and avoiding harsh chemicals, owners can extend the lifespan of their piano while ensuring it continues to look beautiful and sound its best.
