Are you sure that you need a new piano? It may not be necessarily so; it may only need the routine maintenance required of all pianos. In today's economic climate, can you really afford to buy a new piano? Restoring what you have can oftentimes save you a ton of money, and give you the same quality sound of a new one. Keyboard Works has been providing piano services to Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and the surrounding areas since 1987. This privately-owned-and-operated business has more than 21 years' experience.
Do not wait until your piano sounds bad. Pianos should be tuned at least twice a year due to regular use, and changes in humidity. The moving parts of the piano should be regulated every 2 years for residential customers. Models that are used professionally and receive frequent use, such as those in churches, schools, and commercial establishments should be tuned even more often, and the action regulated as often as needed. Regular tuning and maintenance helps to keep the piano from deteriorating, and can save you money in the long run.
Is your piano on display as a piece of furniture only with no intent on maintaining it, or using it to make music? Did you know that when pianos are not tuned, it affects the soundboard, bridges, pinblock, and the moving parts of the action, causing them to crack, warp, or break?
Are you having trouble remembering when your piano was tuned and serviced last? Consider purchasing a regular maintence contract for the piano to be routinely serviced several times a year. Give your pianists, singers, and other musicians an instrument that is tuned, functioning properly, and ready to use so they can sound their best.
Are you planning a concert, talent show, family affair, school reunion, church fellowship, birthday or anniversary party, where live music will be used as an integral part of the event? Please do not forget to include the tuning and servicing of your piano in your budget. Make the event a more enjoyable and pleasant experience.
Piano lessons for beginners of all ages are also available in the privacy of your own home. Church music (of various styles) and classical music is integrated in award-winning lesson plans. You must have a piano that is tuned -- for good sound quality and ear-training purposes; the mechanical parts of the piano should be in good working order as well. Remember, piano students need as much incentive to practice as possible, and a properly tuned and regulated instrument helps to meet this need. If you will be taking lessons on an electronic piano, it should also have:
1. Touch response sensitivity -- the ability to play soft and loud based on the amount of finger, hand, or arm pressure placed on the piano keys, without having to adjust volume control knobs.
2. 88 keys that are weighted (which almost gives the same feel and touch as an acoustic piano).
