What we do to a piano.
Four disciplines, each done by the same small team. We’ll always tell you which one your piano actually needs, and which can wait.
01
Tuning
We set the temperament by ear and clean every unison, stretching octaves to suit the instrument’s own scale. Electronic devices are a reference, never the judge.

Regulation
Regulation decides how a piano feels. Key dip, hammer blow distance, let-off, drop and damper timing all drift with use. We bring them back to specification.
Key levelling and dip
Let-off and drop
Repetition spring tension
Damper and pedal timing
Duration
4–8 hours
From
€320
How often
Every 5–10 years
03
Voicing
When some notes shout and others mumble, it’s the hammers. We needle, file and shape the felt so the whole scale speaks with one colour.

Hardening for brilliance

Also from the workshop
Smaller things that make a big difference.
Humidity control
In-piano climate systems that keep the soundboard steady through Vienna’s dry winters.
Moving advice
We work with specialist movers and re-tune after every move, once the piano has settled.
Concert & studio
On-call technicians for halls, studios and festivals, including touch-ups between sets.
Appraisals
Written condition reports and valuations for insurance, sale or inheritance.
