A piano can be considered the fundimental instrument for all music. It has been recognized as the staple not only to early music education, but also to all professional musicians, regardless of their main instrument.
Having such a timeless instrument is wonderful, and like other wonderful things, they need regular care.
Providing services that help maintain your family instrument is what we are all about. Understanding that your piano is more than just a piece of furniture is something we know quite well. The gift of music is something that connects people of all ages, races, and cultures; and in your home your piano brings your family together.
Maintainence of your piano doesn't have to be an inconvenience or a headache though. Small, regular services can go a long way, with tuning being one of the most important.
By tuning your piano regularly, you are ensuring that the tension on the strings stays at the proper tension. Every piano will go out of tune, whether or not it's being played. Just by sitting in a room, year after year, season after season, a piano's pitch can change dramatically. Tuning a piano means readjusting the tension of the strings to bring the piano back to proper pitch. The more often you do this, the less adjustment is needed when you do it. It is recommended to tune your piano yearly.
Other maintainence components to the longevity of your piano are a regulation of the action, which is essentially small intricate adjustments to the action of your piano (the moving parts that connect the keys to the hammers that hit the strings), and voicing a piano, which adjusts the tonal colouring of the piano's sound (mainly brightness and mellowness). These maintenance services don't have to be performed as often as tunings. Although regulation and voicing are important, tuning is still the most vital to ensure your piano maintains its value as an instrument.
