Regulation & Voicing

Regulation and voicing refine the way your piano plays and sounds. Action regulation involves the adjustment of all the moving parts in your piano to create an even response from note to note and to give you the greatest musical control over dynamics, articulation, and repetition. Voicing involves adjusting the tone to create an even sound from note to note and to give the player a broad range of tonal colors to draw from.

Appraisals

An accurate determination of the value of a piano is important if you are trying to sell a piano or want to insure it. A survey of pianos for sale online reveals such a wide range of values that it can be difficult to know what your piano is actually worth. An appraisal involves an in-person inspection of the instrument combined with market research of comparable instruments for sale.

Pre-purchase Inspection

If you are buying a used piano, it’s critical to have it inspected before you bring the piano home. A pre-purchase inspection will ensure the piano is serviceable and will help you determine if the quality of the instrument is a good match for your expectations and musical ability.
