Understand How Your Piano Parts Work to Create Sound
Your piano is full of many moving parts. In order for a grand piano to create sound, as many as 35 parts must work in sequence, and for an upright piano, as many as 25 parts. When you push down on a key, the moving parts work together to cause the hammer to strike the string.
If you want your instrument to sound its best, you need to give it a lot of maintenance. Hire Ragtime Piano Service to take care of your piano today by calling 253-278-9337. I offer a variety of piano services, including

As your piano parts collide, sounds fill the air. An upright piano contains a case, while a grand piano has parts including the outer rim, legs, lid, and pedal box.
No matter what kind of piano you have, its structure is made up of various key parts:
• Plate
• Strings
• Tuning pins
• Bridges
• Soundboard
• Action parts
• Damper system
Give Your Piano a Beautiful Voice
Modify the volume, color, and brilliance of your piano's sound by using fine needles on the instrument's hammer. After the change is complete, your hammer will sound different when it hits the string.
Protect Your Piano from Humidity
If your piano sits in a room with high or low humidity, you should add a humidifier or dehumidifier system to help preserve your piano's sound.
Your humidifier or dehumidifier will work with your humidistat control to keep your piano in optimal condition.
