The adjustment of “tone,” which you can think of as the “brightness” or “mellowness” of the sound. Although “concert-level” voicing can be time-consuming, sometimes a tuned piano only needs a few minutes of voicing to create a sweeter and more balanced tone.

Any of the numerous types of adjustments that can be made to improve the sensitivity and responsiveness of the keys and mechanism.

If it’s broken, sticky, squeaky, buzzy, dead or dying, I can fix it!

Frank offered me a fair fee for service to fully restore my Cable baby grand piano. When the work was finished, it felt and sounded just like a new piano. I especially noticed big improvements in the base notes. The look of the piano sparkles with Brass and Chrome fittings, everything new and a bold & shiny golden frame underneath it all. Beautiful workmanship. I am happy with my investment!

Frank was not only efficient and extremely well skilled, but also was gracious and extremely professional. I would definitely recommend Bidinger piano restoration to everyone needing a repair, etc. on their beloved instrument! Thank you Bidinger Piano and hope to use your services again soon.
