Regulating
The playing mechanism of a piano is called the ‘action’ It consists of over 8000 parts which require highly accurate adjustments to allow the piano to respond to a persons playing in the best possible way.
Humidity, temperature and usage affect the wooden and felt parts of the mechanism. To avoid sticking keys, squeaky pedals or an uneven feel periodic adjustments can become neccessary. The frequency of regulation depends on the quality of the instrument, its age, condition and wear, however every two years is considered the norm.
Voicing (Toning)
The more a piano is played, the more the felt on the hammer wears down and compresses. Voicing consists of softening (needling) or hardening the hammer felts and adjusting their shape. By doing this the tone is made even across the keyboard and the range of expression you can produce on the instrument is widened.
