Tuning

Regular piano tuning is essential to keep the instrument sounding its best and to protect its long-term health. Over time, changes in humidity, temperature, and regular playing cause the strings to stretch and the tension inside the piano to shift, pulling it out of tune. Without routine tuning, these small changes accumulate, leading not only to poor sound quality but also to added strain on the piano’s internal structure. Regular tuning ensures the piano maintains stable pitch, preserves the instrument’s integrity, and provides the clear, harmonious tone that inspires both players and listeners. 

Regulating

Regulating is the process of adjusting a piano’s intricate action mechanism so that each key responds evenly and with precision. Over time, felt, wood, and metal components naturally shift or wear down, causing uneven touch, sluggish keys, or inconsistent sound. Proper regulation restores balance and responsiveness, ensuring that every note plays smoothly and with the intended dynamic control. This not only enhances the pianist’s playing experience but also helps preserve the instrument’s overall performance and longevity. 

Cleaning & Repairs

Pianos, like any finely crafted instrument, require occasional repairs and thorough cleaning to remain in peak condition. Felt, strings, and wooden parts can wear or loosen with time, while dust and debris build up inside the case, affecting both sound and mechanics. Professional repairs address issues such as broken strings, sticking keys, or worn hammers, restoring the instrument’s proper function and tone. Cleaning the interior not only improves appearance but also prevents long-term damage from dirt and moisture. Together, careful repairs and regular cleaning ensure the piano remains both beautiful and dependable for years to come.

French Polishing

Pianos and fine furniture, no matter how well cared for, can lose their shine over time. Daily use, light exposure, and small scratches gradually dull the surface, leaving the wood looking tired and unprotected. French polishing, a traditional hand-finishing method, restores depth and warmth by carefully applying thin layers of shellac to enhance the natural grain. The result is a rich, glossy finish that revives the appearance and provides lasting protection against wear. With professional French polishing, treasured pianos and furniture regain their elegance and remain both beautiful and resilient for years to come.
