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
Care for an instrument kept in the family.
A family piano may have both musical value and worn internal parts. A technician considers tuning stability, action condition and the feasibility of individual repairs. Restoring the cabinet is different from restoring dependable playing; inspection helps weigh those choices.
If the piano is played only during seasonal visits, note the length of inactivity and how the room is kept between visits. Condition matters more than a calendar alone.
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 Gulf Stream.
For a house visit, say where the piano is located and how the technician should enter. If the instrument is in a condominium, include any required access coordination.
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 hammer that strikes weakly or fails to reach the string may have a damaged shank or another action problem. Do not apply household glue.

An assessment, not assumptions
Tell us about
your piano.
Use the private request form with your name, contact details, Gulf Stream 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 hammer that strikes weakly or fails to reach the string may have a damaged shank or another action problem. Do not apply household glue.
How should I prepare the room or building?
For a house visit, say where the piano is located and how the technician should enter. If the instrument is in a condominium, include any required access coordination.
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.
