A qualified member of the Pianoforte Tuners’ Association, Joseph Taylor offers a complete tuning and repair service for all makes of uprights and grands that keeps your piano sounding and feeling at its best.
Most pianos simply require tuning and regulation work to maintain an excellent sound. As it is played, the tone of the piano will start to lose its edge and shaping of the hammers and toning work is necessary. General repairs are usually carried out on-site, although more major repairs may require the piano to come into the workshop.
It is recommended that the mechanical parts of a piano are serviced every five years, consisting of:
* cleaning the piano, soundboard and strings
* removal and cleaning of the piano action and keyboard
* hammers are refaced and aligned to string and are then toned and the action regulated
* keys are removed and the key bed cleaned, key pins are also polished
* the pedal structure is stripped down and dry lubricated, re-assembled and then regulated
* a full inspection of the piano is carried out, to make sure there are no signs of moth and long term damage to the piano
An environmental aspect that can affect the tuning of a piano is humidity. In situations where a piano is subjected to fluctuating humidity levels, the Piano Life Saver - piano humidity control system - may be the answer. Joseph Taylor is qualified to install the Piano Life Saver should it be deemed an appropriate solution.
As well as many domestic clients, Joseph tunes and repairs pianos for theatres, concert halls and venues, restaurants, recording studios, schools and other such environments throughout the whole of the Oxford area, as well as the wider Oxfordshire area, Buckinghamshire and into Berkshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire
