Cleaning
Beyond just tuning, a piano requires regular cleaning, lubricating, adjusting and servicing parts affected by use and environment.
Voicing
The art of creating dynamics, colour and the character of tone
Regulation
This is just one note of a grand disassembled.
Crucial to the pianist ability to connect with the sound of the instrument is the over 10,000 mechanical parts in the keyboard and action. This allows the player to create a palate of tonal colour through a well regulated piano creating a reliable touch control with evenness and responsiveness offering subtlety and power.
The adjustment of the piano action is required due to age, wear and tear and impact of climate that can affect reliability of touch control.
I offer a specialist service to help return the touch and tonal qualities of your instrument with a complete action and keyboard service.
Servicing
As a reed is to an oboe, a bow to a violin, the hammer head on a piano is significant in creating a good sound aesthetic and requires periodic servicing.
Education
The well maintained piano
The understanding of piano mechanics and piano care through regular lectures at universities, schools and pedagogy conferences.
