A typical piano tuning appointment with Will Perkins includes a full-service tuning to bring your instrument back to its ideal pitch and tone. I begin with a brief assessment of your piano’s condition, then carefully tune each string by ear and with professional tools for a warm, clear, and balanced sound. I also check for minor issues like sticking keys or pedal problems and can perform light repairs if needed. Appointments usually take 1.5 to 2 hours. Whether it’s a grand or upright, I treat every piano with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
In addition to expert tuning, Will Perkins Pianos offers piano regulation and voicing services to ensure your instrument performs at its highest level.
Regulation involves adjusting the various mechanical parts of your piano to improve its touch, feel, and overall performance. This includes fine-tuning the action of the keys, hammers, and pedals, ensuring that each note responds smoothly and evenly. Proper regulation ensures a consistent and responsive playing experience, making your piano easier and more enjoyable to play.
Voicing is the process of adjusting the tonal quality of your piano, giving it a unique sound that matches your preferences. Whether your piano sounds too bright, too dull, or lacks warmth, I carefully adjust the hammers to improve the tone, balancing the sound across all registers. Voicing can help enhance the piano’s richness and clarity, allowing it to resonate beautifully in any setting.
Both regulation and voicing are essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your piano. These services go hand-in-hand with tuning, ensuring that your piano not only stays in tune but also sounds and feels exactly the way you want it. Let me help your piano reach its full potential.
As pianos age, major repairs and restoration may be needed. While I used to offer in-house rebuilding services, the demand for tuning work has led me to collaborate with expert rebuilders who specialize in high-quality piano restoration. These world-class professionals ensure that your piano receives the best care possible, preserving its sound and value. If your piano requires major work, reach out today for a consultation, and I’ll help connect you with the right experts to restore your instrument to its former glory.
