PIANO TUNER PORTLAND INSTALL

I have studied classical and jazz piano, and have performed as a soloist and in group settings. I understand how important it is to have an instrument that is responsive to your musical personality, and look forward to working with you to make your piano its best. My regular piano service includes a tuning and pitch correction, pedal adjustment, and an inspection of the action.

Small adjustments, repairs, and light voicing may also be included as required. I can also make recommendations for more thorough work if the piano needs it. Besides tuning, pianos periodically need to be regulated and voiced to maintain their ideal feel and tone. The regulation process includes dozens of adjustments that can be made to each key in a grand piano. This ensures that the piano is efficiently translating the energy from your fingers into tone from the strings. The voicing process focuses on the hammers of the piano - shaping, softening, hardening, and fitting them to the strings with the goal of evening the tone of the piano. Regulation and voicing together make the piano a joy to play, and make each tuning sound better longer.

So, the fickle New England weather can be really tough on them! Luckily, there are climate control systems made specifically for pianos (made by Dampp-Chaser).I also install Dampp-Chaser piano climate control systems, and am trained in servicing the Yamaha Disklavier player system. When it comes to temperature and humidity, what pianos crave more than anything is consistency. You wouldn’t buy a car without your mechanic looking at it first, would you? Climate Control Installation There are lots of pianos out there, and Underdog will make sure you get the right instrument for you. Time packs a punch to these instruments! Underdog can help get your piano back up to where it was performing in its younger years with this service. Sometimes, your piano needs some extra work to make it the best little piano it could ever be. Underdog can take care of that for you too. Regulation ensures that all of the mechanical parts of your instrument are functioning well, an essential part of maintaining a healthy piano. If your piano hasn't been tuned for a while, if the weather changed recently, or even if it has been moved to a different place - it may need some bigger changes to its tuning. Wherever it sits – concert hall or living room – we will make the piano sound its best. But her greatest joy is her doggie friend, Oscar, the inspiration for her logo design and business name. For non-musical outlets, she takes part in Krav Maga, rock climbing, and the occasional running event. Then, in 2016, she began attending the North Bennet Street School for Piano Technology. After graduating, Tessa moved to Boston and apprenticed with a technician who showed her the basics of piano repair and regulation. During her senior year of college, she shadowed a technician in New Orleans, watching him tune in bars and historic sites like Preservation Hall, where he let Tessa turn her first tuning pin. She was first exposed to piano work while watching her parents' technician tune their piano. Tessa received a BA in Music from Tulane University in 2015. Her childhood piano was a Baldwin Acrosonic spinet, so spinets will always have a special place in her heart. She grew up all over the Northeast, but she spent most of her formative years in central Maine. Tessa Cutler-Wood is a Registered Piano Technician and the owner of Underdog Pianos.
