Regulation and voicing of a Steinway grand piano after cabinet reconstruction – Peter Salisbury’s masterful work

A Steinway & Sons piano is more than just an instrument – it’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship that demands meticulous care. After a comprehensive rebuild, regulation and voicing are crucial steps to restore its iconic sound and flawless mechanics.

Regulation

Regulation ensures the precise adjustment of all mechanical components, including:

  • Keys – balance, height, and responsiveness,
  • Hammers – perfect alignment for even contact with the strings,
  • Pedals – smooth operation and functionality.

Voicing

Voicing is the art of shaping the piano’s tonal quality. Through delicate needling of the hammer felts and precise adjustments, we can:

  • Soften the tone for a warm, romantic sound,
  • Brighten it for a clear, powerful resonance.

Rebuilding and regulating a Steinway restores its former glory while adding a unique, personalized character. With our expertise, every note becomes a perfect reflection of the pianist’s intent.
