A few very different pianos from recent weeks.
From a polished Yamaha U1 with a beautiful Lowcountry view, to a church grand piano prepared for regular use, to extensive hammer shaping work on a piano that had gone many years without proper service.
These hammers were deeply grooved and heavily compacted from decades of wear. While many people think of piano service as “just tuning,” the mechanical and tonal condition of the instrument matters just as much.
Over time, neglected hammers can cause a piano to sound harsh, uneven, and difficult to control dynamically. Careful hammer shaping and voicing helps restore clarity, warmth, and a more even tone across the keyboard.
Regular piano care should involve more than tuning alone.
