There are various reasons for your piano to go out of tune and it is important to keep it on pitch by having it tuned frequently and regularly.
The usual recommendation is to get it tuned twice a year, but depending on many factors, this could easily be increased to three or four times a year. Also, the more you wait between tunings, the more difficult it will be to keep it stable and on pitch.
If your piano has not been tuned for a long time its global pitch will have dropped and it might be necessary to do what is called a pitch raise as pianos are designed to sound at their best when tuned at 440Hz.
If you feel that the action of your piano is difficult to control or heavy, then he it might need to be regulated. This process will give your piano an even touch and you will enjoy playing it again.
Piano hammer voicing—also known as toning—is the art of shaping your piano’s sound so it matches your musical voice. Every piano has its own character, and over time the felt on the hammers compresses and hardens, which can make the tone uneven, harsh, or dull. The goal of voicing is to refine that tone, creating a sound that is clear, warm, and balanced across the entire keyboard.
Through careful and precise adjustments to the hammer felt, voicing allows each note to speak evenly and musically. This process can soften an overly bright or brittle sound, add clarity to muddy notes, and ensure smooth transitions from bass to treble. Rather than changing how the piano plays, voicing enhances how it sounds, bringing out the instrument’s full tonal potential while respecting its natural character.
The ultimate goal of hammer voicing is a more inspiring and enjoyable playing experience. Whether you prefer a mellow, lyrical tone or a brighter, more projecting sound, voicing tailors the piano to your taste and space. A well-voiced piano responds more expressively to touch, making practice, performance, and listening more rewarding every time you sit at the keyboard.
Piano servicing is about keeping your instrument healthy, reliable, and enjoyable to play. Over time, normal use and changes in temperature and humidity affect a piano’s tuning, action, and overall performance. The goal of regular servicing is to maintain stability, prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs, and ensure your piano continues to sound and feel its best.
A professional piano service goes beyond tuning alone. It includes evaluating the action, regulating moving parts, addressing wear, and identifying developing problems before they affect playability. Proper servicing helps maintain even touch, consistent response, and accurate tone, allowing the piano to perform as the maker intended.
The goal of piano servicing is peace of mind and long-term value. A well-maintained piano is more responsive, more expressive, and more enjoyable for every level of player. Regular service protects your investment, extends the life of the instrument, and ensures that each time you sit down to play, your piano is ready to perform at its highest level.
