Do you need Voicing done on your piano?

If you use these terms to describe how your piano sounds, then YES!

Harsh

Bright

Tinny

Buzzy

Zingy

Mentally

Pointed

Intense

 

Voicing involves using needles to adjust the density and compactness of the felt on the hammers, called Needle or Hammer Voicing. Softer hammers produce a warmer, more mellow tone, while harder hammers produce a brighter, more penetrating sound.

By pricking the felt with needles, technicians can soften or harden specific areas of the hammers, allowing for precise control over the tone produced.

 

It's great if you are looking for your piano to sound more:

Softer

Sweeter

More melodic

Dark

Rich

Warmer

Voicing can transform the tone of your piano to a much sweeter and rounder tone making it a much more enjoyable experience to play!
