Does your piano need a "Regulation?"
Here’s a list of the many moving parts that occasionally need to be regulated.
-
Tighten screws (reduce clicking, rattling, or buzzing noises coming from your piano, makes for smoother playing)
-
Pedal Adjustment (helps make dampers more effective, makes your piano more responsive to pedal input)
-
Aftertouch (nice solid, crisp, responsive feel to the keys, can help with sticking keys)
-
Let-off (reduce mushy feel, maximize dynamic expression, eliminates double striking or hammers stifling the sound, most frequent cause of sticking keys)
-
Damper Alignment & Lube (stop pesky notes that still ring after you let up on the sustain pedal)
-
Key Dip (how far you can push the keys down, helps to smooth repeat playing)
-
Key Spacing & Leveling (does your piano need braces? significantly improves appearance, can help with sticking keys)
-
Hammer Blow Distance (distance from resting position to the strings, gives you more power)
-
Action Height (facilitate smoother, quieter soft pedal operation)
-
Key Height (how high the top of the keys are, gives you more power, quicker repeat playing)
