Piano repairs

Your piano is a complex instrument, like a car, that may need repairs and maintenance over time. Tuning your piano is important, but it only deals with the sounds it produces. Servicing the internal action, also known as piano regulation, is equally essential. Piano regulation affects the touch, tone, and responsiveness of your piano action. It ensures that your piano is performing at its best and we suggest you consider periodic regulation services to maintain its performance.

What to consider when booking piano repairs & servicing.

We suggest some important items to keep in mind when scheduling a piano repair or internal action service with us.

Here are some simple questions about your piano:

– How long has your family had the piano?
– Will someone be learning to play on it?
– Do you want to keep the piano for a long time?
– Can the piano be fixed up like new?
– Will the repairs cost more than the piano is worth?
– When was the last time the piano was tuned? (click the link for piano tuning services)

Not all pianos can be fixed and it can be expensive sometimes. We are here to help you make a decision about repairing or servicing your piano. You can ask us any questions by contacting us through this link: https://precisionpianotuning.com.au/contact/.

Regulation Service

The piano has lots of parts that move, and it’s what makes the sound when you play. When you press the keys, the piano uses those moving parts to hit the strings and make music. Here’s what a regulation service does.

These are important piano skills: 

1) Touch – playing loud or soft, 

2) Voicing – making sure each note has the same sound, 

3) Responsiveness – playing fast and slow music, and 

4) Piano tuning – fixing the pitch of each string in the piano.

 

A regulation service can make your piano work better, but it’s only recommended for newer pianos in good condition. Usually, pianos less than 40 years old will improve the most, especially grand pianos. Your piano technician can tell you if your piano could benefit from this service. The service takes a long time (up to 2 days) and can be expensive. Generally, it’s only worth doing for grand pianos or good quality upright pianos. Some pianos won’t see much improvement with this service. Yamaha and Kawai (good piano brands) recommend a regulation service on new pianos every 5 years, but most people only need to do it every 10 years if they use their piano normally at home.
