Pitch Correction

Pitch Correction

A fully strung piano exerts enormous compressive pressure on the cast iron plate and soundboard. If we must dramatically increase tension to achieve A440, the instrument must first have its pitch corrected.  By using sophisticated software, we can accurately measure the pre-tuning pitch, calculate the precise overpull, and achieve a very quick and accurate pitch correction. The subsequent fine tuning will be stable and accurate.

Humidity Control

Humidity Control

We fully endorse the Piano Life Saver humidity control systems for pianos. They work to preserve sensitive wood, leather, wool and steel parts from the devastating effects of humidity extremes in SW Ontario, and stabilize tunings in extreme environments. Check out www.pianolifesaver.com

Historical Temperament

Historical Temperament

We offer a wide range of historical temperaments for the historical enthusiast.  Ranging from a pythagorean tuning, to mediƦval meantone temperaments, to the best of the baroque well-temperaments, we're excited to explore and offer these exciting historical solutions.  While recognizing the practicality and utility of equal temperament, we are not unsympathetic to those bemoaning the loss of pure tuning brought on by equal temperament.  If you're ready to embrace the warmth and texture of pre-enlightenment temperaments, these are for you:

I-IV syntonic meantone; Bremmer EBVT 1,2, and 3; Broadwood Best; Coleman 11 & 16; FiskII; Harald Vogel I-V comma meantone; Kellner; KirnbergerIII; Lehmann-Bach; Mersenne-Chaumont; Rouseau French Standard; Stanhope I-III comma; Stanhope equal beating; Thomas Young#1; Vallotti Well (1750); Valotti-Young Well; WerkmeisterIII
