We do most of the repairs on a piano except for cabinet refinishing. Here are some basic services we provide. It is not a complete list. For specific repairs a visual inspection will be done and an estimate will be given.

Pitch Raise
Sometimes a piano is a half step flat. In order to tune at standard pitch, we must first do a pitch raise followed by the standard tuning.

“The only time your piano would have been cleaner was on the showroom floor.”
Leveling the Keys
All of the keys must be at the same level and drop the same distance across the whole piano in order for the keys to have the proper force to push the hammer correctly and evenly. These tolerances are to .001 of an inch. With use and age, bushings and felts become compressed and the tolerances become too large. Small paper shims are used to bring the keys back to factory specifications.
Action Regulation
Pianos go out of regulation with age and use; felts become depressed and tolerances change. Most manufacturers recommend regulating the piano every three to five years. There are seven adjustments for each key that need to be set to the correct tolerances.
This includes regulation of:
-Jack Position
-Repetition lever height
-Repetition spring tension
-Hammer blow distance
-Hammer left off distance
-Hammer drop distance
-Back check distance
Action regulation puts the piano back as close as possible to its original factory specifications. After action regulation the difference in the way the piano responds to your touch will be greatly improved.
