Le Piano


Piano are sensitive instruments that change with humidity and temperature. Wrestling them back into top shape is physically demanding. Pianos like 42 percent relative humidity, much like humans. Dryness can cause a piano's pitch to go flat; moisture can make it go sharp. Swings in relative humidity can crack or distort soundboards. Extreme dryness can weaken glue joints. We want the sound of the piano to project through the orchestra to the audience without being swallowed up by the orchestra - not harshly projecting; just a good, rich, sonorous sound.

If you are a technician for a major concert and you are not at least a little bit nervous, you probably don't have a pulse. You are in a situation where everything is live. You don't know what is going to happen.

Our job is to give them the most responsive and expressive piano I possibly can so it responds to anything they want to do and it can express what they want the music to express. We ensure that mechanical parts align correctly and that the piano's action responds evenly to the pianist's touch, a service called regulation. After tuning, we perform voicing, adjusting the piano's tone or quality of sound.
