We address environmental factors affecting tuning stability while maintaining structural integrity. Each session typically takes one hour, with minor repairs included in the standard fee.
Piano Repairs
We specialise in comprehensive piano repairs ranging from key mechanism adjustments to soundboard restoration. Our technicians diagnose technical issues affecting performance and implement durable solutions using authentic replacement parts where required.
Hammer Voicing
This service optimises tonal quality by adjusting hammer density and shape to achieve balanced dynamics. We restore expressive capabilities through precise voicing techniques tailored to each instrument's characteristics and the owner's preferences.

Full action restoration involves dismantling and rebuilding the piano's mechanical system to ensure responsive key performance. We replace worn components and realign mechanisms to factory specifications for improved playability.
