Grand Piano Repair
Grand Piano Repair
A grand piano fills a room the way no other instrument can, a longer soundboard, full-length bass strings and a responsive action built for dynamic range and speed. At David Cremer Piano Services, we understand what an instrument like this represents, whether it’s a family heirloom, a teaching studio’s workhorse or a Steinway that anchors a concert stage. We bring the same level of care to every grand we work on, whatever the make, model or age.
Whether it’s a routine tune-up before a performance or a full internal restoration, our approach starts with genuinely understanding why your grand sounds the way it does, not just treating the symptoms.
Our Grand Piano Services
Precision Tuning
Correcting pitch drift caused by playing, humidity and seasonal change across a longer string length, so every octave sits true again.
Action Repair & Regulation
Restoring even key response, repetition speed and touch when hammers, jacks, repetition levers or dampers have worn or fallen out of sync.
Voicing
Pricking the hammer felt to even out tone across the keyboard, softening harshness near the treble or restoring brightness that’s gone dull.
Internal Inspection & Structural Repair
Checking the pinblock, soundboard, bridges and cast-iron frame for movement, cracking or shifting that’s affecting tuning stability.
Pedal & Mechanism Servicing
Fixing soft, sostenuto and sustain pedals that stick, rattle or fail to engage properly, plus lyre and pedal work adjustments.
Cabinet, Case & Lid Care
Cleaning keys, polishing casework, polishing hinges and clearing built-up dust from inside the cabinet, action and lid.
Why Owners Trust Us With Their Grand
Diagnosis First, We Find the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
A grand’s larger soundboard and longer strings make it even more sensitive to environmental change than an upright. We inspect the interior thoroughly to identify whether movement or shifting is behind the problem, rather than tuning over the top of an issue that will simply return.
Experienced Handling & Highly Skilled Repairs
Every client’s grand receives the same standard of workmanship, using quality components rather than shortcuts. We’re experienced with Steinway, Bechstein, Yamaha, Blüthner, Bösendorfer and Kawai, and offer honest advice if you’re buying or selling.
Advice to Prevent It from Happening Again
Beyond the repair itself, you’ll get plain-language advice on placement, humidity control and playing habits that keep your grand in tune for longer.
