PIANO repairs
Hammer Shaping
When you invest in a piano, you want it to produce a beautiful, harmonious sound that fills your home with joy.
However, over time, the hammers that hit the strings can become indented, leading to a reduction in tone and quality. The felt that cushions the hammers also becomes harder with age, providing less protection during the strike. This can cause the tone of the piano to become sharper, more harsh, and more percussive. In addition, harder hammers are more likely to break strings, which can further diminish the quality of the sound.
At Prestige Piano Services, we understand the importance of maintaining the quality of your instrument’s sound. That’s why we offer hammer shaping as part of our piano repair services.
Our skilled technicians take the hammers off the action and number them, ensuring they are placed back in their correct position. Then, they take small groups of hammers and clamp them at an even angle in the vice to reshape them correctly.
