Piano Voicing
Every piano has its own voice - its own sound and its own expression. It is the piano's personality. However, over time with repetetive playing the felt of the hammers very gradually becomes harder in various sections and impacts the tonal quality, perhaps making it sound a little harsh or dull and lifeless, as if it were slightly off a consistant tonal chromatic scale. Whatever you feel the problem is, Penguin Pianos can discuss with you various options regards voicing so that your piano can be played again at its optimum with the tone you wish to call not only noise but music. To keep your piano sounding its best, we recommend that you have it professionally serviced every year, especially if it is of high value to you and even it is not played that much.
Piano Action Regulation
The action of a piano (that is, the inner playing mechanism), is very complex and sensitive. You need to maintain it well so that the piano continues to work the way it was designed to work and that it sounds the way it was meant to sound.
There are so many parts of a piano that can be affected by many kinds of change. And changes in your piano, however gradual, will always result in changes in your performance and practise efficiency. In order to compensate for wear and tear, your piano needs occasional a fine re-adjustment to its mechanism. Once you arrange to have this maintenance carried out professionally, you protect your piano from unnecessary hardship and damage. In turn, each key functions smoothly and evenly - no sticky keys, squeaks or jarring buzzes. You may even notice a marked improvement in your performance. Your piano will thank you for calling Penguin Pianos!
