 The
“modern” piano, the term I use for most pianos built
after 1900, is considered by many to be the noblest
of instruments. More music has been written for it
than for any other instrument; it has a broader
tonal and dynamic range by far than any other
instrument; and a piano played well can indeed “sooth
the savage beast.”
I have been around pianos my entire life, and have
been tuning, repairing, rebuilding and refinishing
them since about 1973. Since piano technicians
often encounter questions that are difficult to
answer during a service call, I have written a
number of articles in
response to many of the questions you’ve
always wanted to ask about pianos, but were perhaps
afraid to ask. I hope in the near future to improve
these pages with illustrations and more informative
articles.
I
hope you will find my web site informative and fun.
As you avail yourself of the information in this
site, please keep Allegro Piano Works in mind for
all of your piano servicing needs.
