Frequently Asked Questions

Answers before you schedule.

What is the difference between tuning, regulation, and voicing?

Tuning adjusts string tension so the piano plays at the correct pitch. Regulation adjusts the keys, pedals, and action mechanism so the instrument responds evenly. Voicing adjusts tonal character, helping the piano sound more balanced, warm, bright, powerful, or controlled depending on the instrument and the player's goals.

Is Premium Golden Service different from a normal piano tuning?

Yes. A normal tuning focuses on pitch. Premium Golden Service includes tuning, pedal detailing and adjustment, vacuuming, key and action regulation, service adjustments, and performance lubrication for a more complete improvement in how the piano plays.

When should I consider the Master Touch Service Package?

Consider Master Touch when the piano needs more than routine tuning: uneven touch, inconsistent repetition, noisy action parts, tone that does not feel balanced after tuning, older parts needing repair, or preparation for performance, recording, teaching, or serious daily practice.
