PIANO VOICING

One of the best things you can do to take care of your piano is scheduling regular piano tunings and making sure your piano is well regulated.  (See our article on tuning and regulation http://brighamspianoservice.com/piano-regulation/).  The next step would be deciding to have “voicing” done on your piano.  Voicing  is the best way to change the tone of your  new or used piano.   Voicing can change how  rich, full, or bright  your piano sounds.  It can also restore your piano’s own unique “voice,” which can fade with time and use.

There are several things that will be looked at when you have a voicing done.  For example, if the tone is too loud or bright, your piano technician would soften the hammers by inserting needles into specific areas to make the hammers more flexible.  Or if the tone on your grand  or upright piano is too weak, or too mellow, the hammer heads would need to be hardened. This can be done by adding a chemical solution to the felt to harden it.  Your piano technician will  also check your hammer heads to make sure they are smooth and even and file them down as necessary. (see our article on hammer head filing http://brighamspianoservice.com/hammer-head-filing/)

Once the tone of your piano has been addressed, your technician would check each individual note to make sure the tone is even throughout the entire piano.
