Regulation. Key dip, let-off, repetition and pedals adjusted, so that the touch becomes even and responsive again.

Voicing. The hammer felts are worked to even out the tone when the sound has become harsh or uneven.

Repair and restoration. Small repairs are done on site. Restringing, soundboard and bridge work are carried out at the workshop in Le Vaud, above Nyon.

How often should a piano be tuned?

Once a year for a family piano, twice for an instrument played a lot. In Switzerland the indoor air becomes very dry during the heating season: the soundboard shrinks and the pitch drops. A stable humidity between 40 % and 60 % keeps a piano in tune for longer.

After a move, wait one to two months before tuning, so the piano can adapt to its new room.
