Piano Regulation in Fort Worth

If the touch feels uneven, some keys are heavy, or the piano no longer responds the way it should, it needs regulation, not just tuning.

Regulation adjusts the mechanical action of the piano so every key responds evenly. Tuning sets the pitch of the strings. Regulation levels the keys, sets the hammers and dampers, and aligns the pedals so the piano feels consistent under your hands. A well-regulated piano is easier to play and more expressive.

Signs your piano needs regulation

Tuning and regulation are not the same

You can tune a piano perfectly and still have it feel wrong to play. Tuning is about pitch. Regulation is about touch and response. Older pianos and heavily played pianos drift out of regulation over time as the felt and wood parts wear and settle.
