Step ONE: booking your service.
We book an evaluation of your piano. I spend 10 minutes inspecting all 88 keys’ function, the pitch, tonal dynamics, structural components, and pedal functionality. A booking service call is $110 + tax but waived If you move forward with any recommendations offered to you.
Step TWO: I begin working.
For optimal results, a fairly quiet environment in the room where Randy is working is best. Please try not to vacuum during the appointment :). The noise causes a large disruption in trying to give you the best tuning I can. Please remove anything non-piano related from the instrument as Randy will be removing cabinetry to access the tuning pins & action.
-
One of the most important features of every piano is a hard-rock laminated maple wooden “pinblock”. These blocks are designed to last for decades and hold each of the 230 ± tuning pins & strings.
-
The heart of the piano’s sound comes from the “soundboard”, the large spruce amplifier below the strings., which vibrates with the stings which pushes out sound waves with great volume.
-
Every key has about 60 parts behind it that allow the keys to produce sound. I will test the parts to see how strong their functionality is.
-
Part of what make a piano sound great is the tone quality, or softness vs. harshness. Some pianos sound very tinny while others sound warm and dynamic.
-
20th & 21st Century pianos are designed to be tuned to A440 (A4 above middle C should vibrate 440x per second). This allows a piano’s pitch to align with all other instruments (saxophones, flutes, trumpets, clarinets, etc.) for correct ear training & musical development.
5 routine options depending on
when you serviced last, what condition the piano is in, and where the pitch lies.
