Aural piano tuning
I tune by ear, listening across the whole piano and making pitch corrections when needed.

Piano care
Tuning means adjusting the tension of the strings so the notes work together at the right pitch. Here in Florida, twice a year is a good schedule for most home pianos.
If a piano has gone a long time without service, it may need a pitch raise before the fine tuning. It may take more than one tuning to get it stable again.

Light cleaning or a more detailed interior cleaning, depending on what the piano needs.
Broken strings and worn hammers can be replaced as needed.
Voicing adjusts the hammers to make the tone brighter, mellower, or more even from note to note.
Regulation adjusts both the action and hammers of your piano, ensuring it feels even and is not too easy or hard to play.
Plan on two tunings a year. Try not to go longer than one year between visits.

CertifiedAbout
I'm certified through Piano Technician Academy, and I've studied piano for more than ten years. I also play organ and teach piano.
That background helps me listen to the piano as both a technician and a musician. I work on uprights, spinets, and grand pianos. I'll explain what I find before recommending any work.
At the workbench
Sometimes a piano needs more than tuning. I can replace worn hammers or broken strings, make adjustments, and clean the instrument. If something does not feel or sound right, tell me what you are noticing at the keyboard.
