Frank's Piano Tuning & Repair

Regulation:

“Piano regulation involves adjusting the mechanical parts of your piano to ensure it functions optimally. Over time, the action mechanism, which includes the keys, hammers, and pedals, can become misaligned or worn due to regular use and environmental factors. Proper regulation will:

1. Improve Playability: Ensures a consistent touch and response across all keys, making it easier and more enjoyable to play.
2. Enhance Control: Allows for better control over dynamics and expression, crucial for both beginner and advanced pianists.
3. Extend Lifespan: Reduces unnecessary wear on the piano’s components, preserving the instrument for many years to come.

Regular regulation keeps your piano performing at its best, much like regular maintenance for a car.”

Voicing:

“Voicing adjusts the tonal quality of your piano to match your personal preference and the intended sound of the instrument. This process involves modifying the hammers’ felt to alter the piano’s timbre. Proper voicing will:

1. Improve Sound Quality: Ensures an even tone across all notes, eliminating harsh or dull sounds.
2. Match Personal Preference: Tailors the piano’s sound to suit your taste, whether you prefer a bright, clear tone or a warm, mellow sound.
3. Maintain Consistency: Helps maintain the piano’s original tonal characteristics, crucial for maintaining the instrument’s value and your enjoyment.

Voicing can transform your piano’s sound, making it more pleasing to the ear and more inspiring to play.”
