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
After a move, listen and inspect.
Moving a piano or changing its room can affect how it sounds and how stable its pitch feels. Share when the move happened and what has changed since. A tuning request can be assessed alongside pedal noises, sticking keys, or action problems; they do not all have the same remedy.
A move can change room conditions as well as how sound carries. Note changes to cooling and sunlight, and keep lift or service-entry arrangements distinct from any need for piano moving.
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 Fort Lauderdale.
For a house, apartment, or condominium visit, tell us about the piano’s location, entry arrangements, and any building rules. This is an assessment inquiry, not a piano-moving service or an instantly reserved appointment.
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 pedal that squeaks, fails to lift dampers, or does not return normally needs a mechanical check. Include a short video showing what happens without forcing the pedal.

An assessment, not assumptions
Tell us about
your piano.
Use the private request form with your name, contact details, Fort Lauderdale 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 pedal that squeaks, fails to lift dampers, or does not return normally needs a mechanical check. Include a short video showing what happens without forcing the pedal.
How should I prepare the room or building?
For a house, apartment, or condominium visit, tell us about the piano’s location, entry arrangements, and any building rules. This is an assessment inquiry, not a piano-moving service or an instantly reserved appointment.
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.
