CLEANING OUT AN UPRIGHT Cleaning Out an Upright. September 9, 2015. Ryan Peterson. Repairs. If you own an old upright piano, every few years, you ought to open up the base of the piano and take a look. Often times you will find rodent nests, broken pieces of the piano action, decades worth of dust and old pencils, or anything else you can imagine. REPLACING LOOSE TUNING PINS In my post “Loose Tuning Pins CA Glue Repair” I described a procedure that is used to tighten-up tuning pins that are slightly loose. Sometimes the pins have gotten so bad that CA glue won't do enough to make the piano functional again. In these cases, it is necessary to replace the tuning pins with slightly larger ones. RE-GLUING DAMPER FELTS The glue holding the bass damper felts on my Milton Player Piano had degraded to the point that the felts were falling off on their own. They were still in good enough shape, so I decided to pull the remaining felts off and re-glue all of them. KEY BUSHING REPLACEMENT After the keys have fully dried, pull out the mortise sizing cauls. All of the mortises should now be a uniform size and ready for bushings. Before installing new bushings, I also ordered the .146" bushing cauls from Spurlock Tools (which match my .146" front and balance rail pins), as well as a few different thicknesses of Key Bushing Cloth from Schaff Piano Supply Company.

HOW TO SPLICE PIANO WIRE That is the piano tuner's knot! When this knot it pulled tight during tuning, the two loops will lock against each other and hold tension.

PIANO TUNING, SERVICE, AND REPAIR ***I AM NO LONGER OFFERING TUNINGS OR REPAIR IN THE NEW ORLEANSAREA***
**PLEASE CONTACT HENRY ARTIGUE FOR THESE SERVICES AT 504-669-0048** *LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU WERE REFERRED BY RYAN PETERSON* Whether you are a parent with a musical child, a professional pianist, an owner of a music venue or educational institution, or just a person who plays for enjoyment, you deserve to play an instrument that sounds beautiful. Your hands should soar across the keyboard at will, not becoming tangled in sticky keys, broken strings, or sour notes. Together, we can keep your piano sounding and feeling like new foryears to come.
TUNING
Just like other string instruments, your piano is made of materials that swell and contract with seasonal changes in humidity and temperature. This means that your piano _will _go out of tune over time. If you notice a specific note that sounds off, octaves that clash, or that your piano doesn't sound right when played with other instruments, a piano tuning is probably in order. Ideally, your piano would be tuned at least twice a year. A basic piano tuning costs $125, and generally takes one to two hours to complete.PITCH RAISE
A pitch raise may be required if your piano has not been serviced in a long time. When every note in a piano is extremely flat, the strings must all be tightened to approximately the correct tension before a fine tuning can be performed. A pitch raise requires extra time and therefore costs an extra $25 on top of a standard tuning. If your piano is not played along with other instruments, the piano can be "tuned to itself". In this case a pitch raise is notrequired.
REPAIR
Eventually, wooden parts in your piano may crack, glue may weaken, pieces of felt may detach, and strings may break. Piano repairs can often be performed on site, but if a repair requires glue, the piano should not be played for at least 24 hours while the glue sets. Occasionally, worn or broken parts may need to be replaced, especially if warped, damaged by rodents, or missing completely. If you have broken strings, do not remove them from the piano. The original string must be measured to ensure it is replaced with the same size string. I charge $15 for each replacement string (bass strings cost extra). Other repairs are priced on an individual basis according the cost of replacement parts and time spent on the repair. Taking a photo of the part needing repair and emailing it to me can greatly expedite the process.REGULATION
Sometimes playing certain notes on your piano just doesn't feel right. Keys will stick. Hammers will double-strike or not strike at all. Strings will continue to sound after you have released the key. These are all symptoms that your piano needs regulation. There are many parts in your piano that can be adjusted to compensate for wear and compacting of felt. Most of the time, it only takes a few small adjustments to get things back in proper working order. However, pianos that have been untouched for many years can require hours of regulation work to become playable again. WANT TO READ ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK I DO? TAKE A LOOK AT MY PIANOREPAIR BLOG

I have been servicing and tuning pianos in NOLA since 2012 after first becoming interested in piano technology in 2009. With a background in teaching bicycle mechanics, I bring a methodical mindset and a love of sharing knowledge and skills to the rich musical culture of NewOrleans.
