Your piano is complex.
I start by cleaning and assessing your piano. A clean piano sounds better. An assessment will discover any problems that can keep your piano from performing to your expecations.
ACTION repair and REGULATION
Repairing and adjusting or "regulating" the mechanical movements of the keys and hammers and other components helps ensure a responsive, consistent touch that allows for the piano to provide the sound you enjoy.
I work to tune your piano to meet your expectations. This one looks like my 1915 Chickering Parlor Grand, but it's not!
Chickering. If you know, you know.
I also own a 1960 Yamaha upright.
Tuning your piano
What I don't do!?
I don't work on digital pianos.
I don't repair "the player" in player pianos.
I don't do major repairs or full restorations. I can refer you to companies that do that.
I don't collect old pianos for parts.
I don't move pianos. I'm an old guy. I can refer you to a piano mover.
I'm not a miracle worker. Some pianos need to be hauled off.
