Repairs & Regulation
Specialized services to restore responsiveness, evenness, and tonal quality to your piano.
Action Regulation
Playability improvements
Over time, the many moving parts inside a piano lose their precise timing. This can make the keyboard feel uneven, heavy, sluggish, or difficult to control quietly.
Action regulation focuses on restoring consistency and responsiveness:
- • Evenness of touch
- • Key response speed
- • Control at soft and loud dynamics
Typically recommended every 10–15 years, or sooner for heavily played instruments.
Tone Improvement
Hammer work & voicing
If a piano sounds harsh, thin, or uneven, the issue is often related to hammer wear and alignment rather than tuning alone.
Tone improvement work may include:
- • Reshaping worn hammers
- • Aligning hammers to the strings
- • Balancing tone across the keyboard
The goal is to restore clarity and warmth while preserving the character of the instrument.
Mechanical Repairs
Adjustments & fixes
Minor mechanical issues are commonly addressed during tuning visits where appropriate.
More involved repair work is always assessed first and clearly explained before proceeding.
Repairs focus on reliability, longevity, and musical usefulness rather than unnecessary restoration.
Inspection & Care
Professional assessments and preventative maintenance to help you make informed decisions about your piano's future.
Piano Inspection
Condition report & assessment
This service provides a clear, professional assessment of a piano's condition.
Suitable for:
- • Buyers or sellers
- • Inherited or long-unused pianos
- • Schools and institutions
- • Owners considering repairs or long-term maintenance
The inspection covers structural, mechanical, and tonal condition, followed by a straightforward explanation of:
- • Current issues
- • What is worth addressing
- • What can safely be left alone
The aim is to give honest guidance so you can make informed decisions about your piano.
Preventative Care
Cleaning & maintenance
Over time, dust and debris inside a piano can affect reliability and performance.
Preventative care may include:
- • Internal dust removal
- • Cleaning under keys
- • Pedal and hardware cleaning
- • Removal of debris that interferes with moving parts
This work helps protect the mechanism and reduce future problems.
Not Sure What Your Piano Needs?
That's completely normal.
If you're unsure which service is appropriate, simply get in touch with a brief description of:
- • When the piano was last tuned (if known)
- • Any issues you've noticed
- • The piano's location
You'll receive a clear recommendation based on the piano itself — no pressure, no unnecessary work.
