Servicing & Repairs

“Very pleasant, and thoroughly professional in how he handled the tuning of my piano. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top notch job.”

Pianos need to be serviced periodically due to their intricate mechanisms, consisting of thousands of parts, which are subject to wear and tear with use. As pianos age, the materials like felt and leather, vital for the mechanical performance, will deteriorate. Regular maintenance helps prevent minor issues from developing into more significant problems, and can even improve its longevity and performance, all of which contribute to preserving its value.

 

Servicing a grand or upright piano primarily involves the care and adjustment of its mechanism, but can include other maintenance work too.  This process typically includes cleaning, lubrication, adjusting the pedals and regulating the mechanism to ensure optimal mechanical performance.  Additionally, light voicing of the hammers may be performed to enhance the piano’s tone and overall sound quality.

 

Occasionally, repair work may be needed to address worn, damaged, or broken parts, such as the hammers, dampers, keys and strings, or any other issues with the piano. Such repairs not only improve the sound and playability of the piano but also maintain the instrument.

 

Piano servicing is essential to keep your piano in good condition and performing at its best. It ensures that your instrument responds well to your touch and produces the beautiful, rich sound that only a well-maintained piano can offer. 

 

By investing in periodic servicing, you’re not just maintaining your instrument, you’re investing in the joy of playing and listening to your piano for years to come.

Mr S. Thompson

“Brought an old piano, which had not been used in some time, back to life and to perfect condition again. I did not think it would have been possible, but after tuning and lubrication of the mechanism, it sounded exactly like it did 50 years ago when it was new. Thanks for a great resuscitation, Mark.”
