Services
Piano Tuning
Our precision tuning ensures optimal pitch stability at standard A440. We address minor adjustments and regulation during visits, with pitch raises available for neglected instruments. Technicians evaluate piano condition during each session to maintain long-term performance.
Reconditioning
This service revitalizes moderately worn pianos through cleaning, part replacement, and mechanical adjustments. We focus on improving tone and functionality without replacing major structural components, offering cost-effective solutions for instruments with average performance needs.
Rebuilding
Complete rebuilding restores pianos to like-new condition with soundboard replacement, full restringing, and action system restoration. We refinish cases and perform multiple tunings to stabilize new strings, ideal for high-value instruments requiring maximum performance longevity.
Voicing
Our voicing process modifies piano tone to match owner preferences or restore original character. Technicians adjust hammer felts and internal components to achieve desired tonal qualities ranging from warm to bright, enhancing musical expression.
Historical Piano Repair
Specialized repair services for 1800s-era instruments including Birdcage uprights and Square Grands. We maintain historical accuracy while improving functionality, preserving these rare instruments' structural integrity and musical capabilities for modern use.
