Expert Piano Repairs
Restoring playability and performance through meticulous diagnosis and precision repairs.
Comprehensive Repair Services
A piano's action—the intricate mechanism that translates keystrokes into hammer strikes—is a marvel of engineering precision. With thousands of moving parts working in perfect synchronization, even minor issues can affect touch response, tone production, and overall playability.
Our repair services address a wide range of issues, from simple adjustments to complete action rebuilds. We diagnose problems accurately, explain options clearly, and perform repairs with the utmost attention to detail—always prioritizing the longevity and performance of your instrument.
Common Repair Issues
Sticking or Unresponsive Keys: Keys that stick, fail to return, or feel uneven can result from accumulation of debris, worn action parts, or humidity-related swelling. We identify the root cause and make precise adjustments or replacements.
Uneven Tone or Volume: Inconsistent tone across registers often stems from hammer wear, voicing issues, or uneven string bearing. We restore balanced tone through careful regulation and voicing.
Loose or Broken Hardware: Over time, tuning pins, action screws, and hardware can loosen or wear. We tighten, replace, and reinforce as needed to ensure structural integrity.
Pedal Malfunctions: Pedals that squeak, stick, or fail to engage properly affect both playability and expression. We repair and adjust sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals for smooth operation.
Action Regulation
Regulation is the process of adjusting all mechanical components to factory specifications (or optimized settings for your preferences). Over time and with use, components compress, wear, and shift slightly—cumulatively affecting touch and tone.
Complete regulation involves adjusting key height, key dip, let-off, blow distance, and hammer swing weight. We recommend regulation every 5-10 years for most pianos, or sooner if you notice changes in touch response.
Component Replacement
Some parts simply wear out. We source authentic replacement parts from trusted suppliers and install them with precision. Common replacements include:
- Hammer heads (for worn or damaged hammers)
- Key pins and bushings (for loose or sticking keys)
- Strings and tuning pins (for broken strings or stripped pinblocks)
- Action parts (repetition levers, jack assemblies, wippens)
- Dampers (for improved sustain and pedal response)
Service Pricing
Final pricing depends on parts costs and labor required. We provide detailed quotes before beginning any work.
Request AssessmentSigns Your Piano Needs Repair
Don't ignore these common indicators that your piano needs professional attention.
Sticking Keys
Keys that don't return fully or stick intermittently indicate bushings or action issues requiring professional attention.
Uneven Tone
Notes that sound noticeably different from their neighbors suggest hammer wear, voicing issues, or mechanical misalignment.
Weak Response
Keys that feel sluggish or require excessive force indicate worn parts, loose tolerances, or need for regulation.
Pedal Problems
Squeaking, unresponsive, or "floating" pedals indicate linkage issues, worn parts, or need for adjustment.
