Services
Whether your piano is young or old, in your home, a classroom or on a stage, I take great care in bringing out the best in touch and tone.
01
Professional Tuning
02
Voicing and Regulation
Manipulating hammer felt to adjust and level out tone can make a huge difference when playing. Regulation is when every action part is adjusted and returned to factory specs.
03
Repairs
Action, piano wire and key repairs. Hammer replacement, key recovering, new bass and treble strings, sticky keys, sluggish actions, damper felt adjustment, and more!
