Tuning
Tuning a piano is the process of adjusting the tension of its strings, thereby altering their pitch, or frequency of vibration, by slightly turning the tuning pins to which they’re attached, so that each string sounds pleasingly in harmony with every other string.
Reconditioning
Piano restoration — also known as piano rebuilding, piano refurbishing, and piano reconditioning — helps bring a piano back to its original beauty, tone, and performance. Piano refinishing restores the piano’s finish either to its original finish or to another selected finish.
Repair
Tuning a piano does not repair any existing mechanical or structural issues . Often this becomes more evident when a piano refuses to stay in tune. A piano is a complex instrument with a Stein being comprised of over 12,000 parts with thousands of moving parts.
Regulation
Regulation is the adjustment of the mechanical aspects of the pianos to compensate for the effects of wear, the compacting and settling of cloth, felt, and buckskin, as well as dimensional changes in wood and wool parts due to changes in humidity.
