Tuning & Pitch Adjustment
Tuning is the adjustment of the pitch of the strings in a piano, and the result is the correct relationship between all the notes of the instrument. Equally important in the art of tuning is to make the piano sound as nice for as long as possible.
Voicing
Our service at Touchstone Pianos includes the adjustment of the tone relating directly to the hammer – requires an adjustment of the hammer mechanism and matching it to the string. The process requires great skill, patience and dedication.
In-home Servicing
The piano has so much more going on inside that needs to be monitored and adjusted as required. We will often adjust the complex playing mechanism to keep it operating properly, check and adjust the voicing or tone, and attend to the tuning as well.
