Servicing Your Piano

Routine service is an important part of piano ownership. You should consider it as important as the service and maintenance program for your automobile or any other fine mechanical object you own. There are three basic steps in maintaining the sound of your piano:

1. Tuning, which brings the piano back to pitch

2. Voicing, which affects the piano's tone, or quality of sound

3. Regulation, or the adjustment of the action mechanism which affects the touch of the piano

Tuning and voicing are different aspects of adjusting the piano to its optimum standard of performance.

Tuning is the adjustment of the piano's strings to the correct pitch.

Voicing is the adjustment of the piano's tone or sound and is done by softening or hardening the hammers and adjusting various parts of the piano's keyboard mechanism.

Regardless of its original voicing, every piano will acquire a somewhat brighter tone with time as the hammer felts become compacted the more they are struck against the strings.
