TUNING
However frequently your piano is used, I should be tuned at least once a year in order to keep the balance of the pressure applied to the soundboard by all of the strings. Not tuning a piano annually can lead to false economies.
A piano which has infrequent tunings will need a more in-depth and longer tuning, therefore becoming more costly in the long run.
MAINTENANCE
The mechanical parts of your instrument are highly solicited by the repetitive hitting of the keyboard. The felts on the hammers pack down and flatten, taking away from the precision in the sound; the rotation axels (pivots) of these hammers also finish up with some play in them and have an impact on the tone. The numerous regulation points along the whole of the mechanical parts / keyboard should be regularly check and rectified in order to maintain the optimal potential of the instrument. When the tuner comes by, he may advise you on any potential work that way need doing (filing of hammers, pivots, mortaises de clavier)

HARMONISATION
This consists of evening out and optimising the different registers of your piano. By aerating the hammer felts, the technician may alter the timbre and the sound palette.

These steps are carried out after the tuning and regulating of the instrument. It is also through dialogue between the musician and the harmoniser that the musician may indicate his wishes and desires.

PIANOS DE PRESTIGE
Recognising that some of our clientele wishing to purchase pianos do not live in close enough proximity to be able to make a round trip in one day to Normandy, we propose to pay for a nights accommodation in one of our beautiful chateaux hotels in the area, in the event that the sale is concluded. If you wish to reach us by train, we propose to cover the cost of your transfer from the station and back.
