Piano Tuning & Repair Service in the San Francisco Bay Area
Tuning, regulation, voicing, repairs, reconditioning and independent evaluations for grand and upright pianos throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Piano tuning and pitch correction
Fine tuning brings the piano to a stable pitch, cleans up unisons and restores clarity across the keyboard. When an instrument is substantially above or below standard pitch, a pitch correction may be recommended before the fine tuning.
Regulation
Regulation adjusts the action so the keys and internal mechanism work evenly and reliably. It can improve repetition, control, consistency and the connection between the player and the instrument.
Voicing
Voicing shapes tonal balance and color. The goal may be to reduce harshness, improve projection, even out notes or help the piano respond more musically at different dynamic levels.
Repairs and reconditioning
Service may include sticky or uneven keys, broken strings, pedals, dampers, action parts, key tops, restringing and other mechanical or structural concerns. The piano is evaluated first so the recommended work addresses the actual cause.
Inspection and appraisal guidance
An independent inspection can help a buyer understand a piano’s present condition, likely service needs and important risks before purchase. Appraisal guidance is available when appropriate.
