There are over 12,000 parts that make up grand piano

A good tuning requires compromise between tonal brilliance, intonation and an awareness of gradation of tone through the compass of the instrument.

Little introduction

Regular maintenance is a key.

Many factors cause pianos to go out of tune, particularly atmospheric changes. For instance, changes in humidity will affect the pitch of a piano; high humidity causes the sound board to swell, stretching the strings and causing the pitch to go sharp, while low humidity has the opposite effect. Changes in temperature can also affect the overall pitch of a piano. In newer pianos the strings gradually stretch and wooden parts compress, causing the piano to go flat, while in older pianos the tuning pins (that hold the strings in tune) can become loose and don’t hold the piano in tune as well. Frequent and hard playing can also cause a piano to go out of tune. For these reasons, many piano manufacturers recommend that new pianos be tuned four times during the first year and twice a year thereafter.

A few things we’re great at

Our goal is to restore pianos to the point of complete perfection while preserving their unique historical character. Thanks to this the piano becomes a truly one of a kind instrument.

Acoustic

Having a direct influence on acoustic properties and tone of the instrument, the soundboard is considered as the heart of every piano.

Action

Condition of the action translates directly to pianist’s playing experience. Meticulously prepared action offers a freedom of musical variation.

Voicing

Voicing is a process which gives an instrument possibly an open sound characteristic. This effect is obtained by needling and shaping hammer heads.

Cabinet

Each instrument requiring cabinet restoration undergoes a complex carpentry work process which may vary based on the actual cabinet condition.
