Grand Pianos

Grand pianos require a high level of maintenance to ensure they function correctly. If you’re considering purchasing a piano for your own home then it is important to bear in mind what type of maintenance it will require an how frequently it must be performed.

The most common type of maintenance that grand pianos must undergo is tuning. Tuning grand pianos is not an easy task and few people are able to tune their own grand pianos. Thankfully there are many skilled piano tuners who will be able to tune grand pianos for a fee. They use a variety of tools and specialist methods when tuning grand pianos to ensure they are precisely tuned to the correct pitch. Many piano tuners will also be able to provide other maintenance services for piano owners. Voicing is another commonly request service, which ensures that the tonal qualities of grand pianos are kept in good order.

Moving grand pianos is another task that requires specialist knowledge, skills and equipment and it should never be attempted by anybody other than professional piano movers. Grand pianos are partially disassembled before moving and a variety of specialised covers and lifts will be used to prevent damage occurring.
