Piano tuning
Adjusting string tension balances pitch and intervals. If a piano has drifted significantly, its condition determines the appropriate approach.

Your piano, considered individually
The details behind a balanced instrument.
A piano can be close to pitch yet still feel inconsistent. Key travel, hammer movement, and repetition all influence control. Regulation addresses these relationships; a broken hammer or binding key requires its own diagnosis. The recommended work follows the instrument’s actual condition.
For quiet practice, explain whether a problem occurs at light or strong dynamics. Add seasonal occupancy and climate-control observations, while coordinating building registration or elevator access if relevant.
Maestro Piano offers exceptional piano tuning and repair, delivered to the highest standards by a highly skilled musician and pianist with over 50 years of piano-tuning experience. His training took place in Russia at a piano factory specializing in piano construction and tuning. A trained ear, careful diagnosis, traditional specialist tools and deep hands-on repair and restoration craft guide the work; condition and repair scope are assessed individually.
Grand or upright?
Start with the mechanism.
A grand has horizontal strings and upward-striking hammers; an upright has vertical strings and a different return mechanism. Both need pitch and action checked, but access to parts and regulation differ. Findings and proposed work are explained before you decide.
Explore all piano servicesKey, hammer & action repair
Silent notes, sticking keys, or broken hammers need diagnosis. Tuning alone cannot restore a damaged mechanism.
Regulation, voicing & restoration
Regulation improves the action’s response; voicing refines tone. Larger restoration and refinishing decisions start with an inspection.
House, apartment & condominium visits
What to expect
in Bal Harbour.
Condominium and apartment visits require clear entry instructions and any building arrangements. For houses, share access to the instrument and a preferred time window. Each visit is discussed and confirmed individually.
The visit starts with listening to your concerns and inspecting the piano. The findings and proposed work are explained before you choose how to proceed. Coverage and visit scheduling are confirmed individually; this page does not imply a local office.
A useful symptom to describe
A single note that feels too heavy or too light can make a familiar piece uncomfortable. Identify the note if possible and explain whether it sticks, fails to sound, or behaves differently on repetition.

An assessment, not assumptions
Tell us about
your piano.
Use the private request form with your name, contact details, Bal Harbour location, piano type or make if known, and what you notice. Photos or a short video can help, but do not replace an inspection.
Many issues are repairable, but not every instrument is a practical restoration candidate. A request does not reserve a visit time or commit you to work.

Before a visit
Your assessment,
step by step.
Share the concern and access details. Coverage and scheduling are confirmed individually. The piano is inspected, then findings and proposed work are explained before you decide.
What should I tell you first?
A single note that feels too heavy or too light can make a familiar piece uncomfortable. Identify the note if possible and explain whether it sticks, fails to sound, or behaves differently on repetition.
How should I prepare the room or building?
Condominium and apartment visits require clear entry instructions and any building arrangements. For houses, share access to the instrument and a preferred time window. Each visit is discussed and confirmed individually.
Does being out of tune mean a key needs repair?
Tuning changes string pitch. Silent or sticking keys, broken hammers and uneven response need a mechanical check. Many faults can be repaired after inspection, but no outcome is guaranteed.
