  • Tuning

 

            

  • Concert Preparation

  • Regulating

Regulation refers to the correct adjustments of keyboard and action parts.  For a home or studio instrument these adjustments should be done every few years; more frequently for a performance piano.		  

  • Voicing

Voicing is adjusting the tone of the piano.  The tonal "colour" of a piano can be adjusted from mellow to bright.  The amount of change possible depends on the condition of the piano and the quality of parts in the instrument.

The tone of the a piano will change over time and so will need periodic voicing to restore the original tonal qualities, or to match the piano to a particular room acoustic.
