Bring out the tone your piano was born to sing—with expert voicing that’s tailored to your ear.
Why Voicing Changes Everything
A music professor in Draper recently told us, “My Yamaha is always in tune, but it’s too bright—I want it warmer.” We spent an hour voicing the hammers and adjusting strike points. After a few minutes of play, he stopped, smiled, and said: “That’s exactly what I’ve been chasing for years.”
That’s what professional piano voicing is for—not just tuning to pitch, but shaping the personality of the instrument. Whether your piano sounds too harsh, too mellow, or just uneven, voicing can make it feel brand new.
What Is Piano Voicing?
Voicing is the art of adjusting the tone color of your piano. While tuning aligns pitch, voicing shapes how each note sounds—its brightness, warmth, attack, and blend across octaves.
Our voicing service includes:
-
Evaluation of tonal balance across all registers
-
Hammer reshaping or needling (to soften overly bright notes)
-
Hardening or stiffening (if notes sound too dull or flat)
-
Strike point and escapement adjustment
-
Voicing to match your personal taste or performance needs
-
Full after-service testing with you present
It’s a highly personal, hands-on process that blends craft with musical intuition. No two pianos—or pianists—are the same.
When Is Voicing Needed?
Consider professional voicing if:
-
Your piano sounds too bright, sharp, or metallic
-
Certain notes “jump out” while others get buried
-
You’ve just had a piano restored or rebuilt
-
You record regularly and need a balanced tone
-
You’ve never had voicing done and want a smoother experience
Voicing can also prolong hammer life and enhance dynamic control—especially helpful for teachers and advanced players.
