When tuning is not enough
Regulation, touch, and tone.
A piano can be in tune and still feel hard to play, uneven, dull, harsh, or unreliable.
The problem may be mechanical, not musical.
Regulation and voicing affect how the piano responds under the hand and how the instrument speaks. I can assess what is happening and recommend a level of work that fits the piano and the player.
- Uneven touch or notes that feel heavy, shallow, or unreliable.
- Keys that repeat poorly or do not respond evenly.
- Tone that is harsh, dull, or inconsistent across the keyboard.
- Pedal and damper issues.
- Advice on whether regulation, voicing, repair, or tuning is the right next step.
