The Importance of Piano Repair

Your piano is designed to be played and enjoyed! However sometimes one of the 1,500 pieces of wood will break or become misaligned. When this happens it can cause a key to malfunction or "stick". Keeping your piano in good working order is important, a few small repairs, if left unatended, can add up quickly and sometimes cause damage to other components. 

Basic Service Appointment

Most minor repairs take just a few moments to correct. 95% of our repairs are a quick and simple fix. Something gets jammed by a pencil dropped into the piano or a penny in between the keys. If a repair only takes a few minutes then it would be considered minor. Minor repairs are included with our charge for a Basic Service Appoinment.

Major Repair vs. Minor Repair

The Chart above will give you a general idea of what we consider major and minor repair. Most times a sustain pedal not working or a note not playing is as simple as removing something. A major repair could take as little as 20 minutes but require dissasembling some parts.

Regulation and Voicing

  Age and use can wear down felt parts in a piano, causing moving parts to travel further than they are designed for, this can make the piano uncomfortable or even difficult to play. Regulating your piano creates a better "feel" when you're playing. We make sure all moving parts are moving only the appropriate amount and are resting where they are supposed to.

  Humidity and use can cause the felt hammers to harden causing a very harsh or "tinny" sound from some or all of the notes. Sometimes hammers will soften over time causing a muddy or dull sound. Moore's Piano Service can handle both of these issues through voicing the hammers on your piano.
