We tune, maintain and adjust our pianos before delivery.
Pianos are delicate instruments that require professional attention periodically. Basically, there are two types of professional piano care: tuning and adjustment.
Tuning means correcting the pitch of each note by readjusting the strings. Each piano string is normally tensioned at a pressure of about 90 kg, but eventually the string will stretch more with use, losing its correct fingerboard. The strings need to be tuned from time to time, depending on the use, where the piano is located and also the quality of the piano (the better the piano is, the less it gets out of tune).
Normally, a piano is tuned every time he goes for a performance, when he is already at the concert site. Sometimes the artist requires a second tuning or even that the tuner is present throughout the day.
The adjustment comprises the total piano action, keyboard and pedal movements. A proper fit is especially important for grand pianos. Whether the piano plays perfectly or not depends on the accuracy with which it has been adjusted.
We have collaborators, who are part of our team in the different offices and who are in charge of tunings and adjustments, and also take care of the most important maintenance interventions, when necessary, either in our facilities or in their own workshops.
