What is Regulation?
After a while, due to general playing of the piano and with temperature variations, the constant swelling and shrinking of the wood, compacting of cloth and felt, and the wearing of pins on which the hammers and other parts pivot, your instrument may start to feel ‘sluggish’ to play. Regulation refers to adjusting the thousands of mechanical parts of the piano to bring the instrument back to its optimum playing condition.
Does Your Piano Need To Be Regulated?
If you are having difficulty controlling your playing in soft passages of music, or cannot achieve the trill you are aiming for in faster passages as your piano will not allow you to repeat notes at speed, it is likely that your piano needs to be regulated. If you are experiencing these problems whilst playing and feel as though your piano is not responsive to the touch or reacting in the way you expect, contact Mark at The Piano Doctor Ltd today.
Other signs to look out for are:
- Unlevel keys – If you notice that any of the keys are higher or lower than others.
- Uneven touch – If the touch is uneven throughout the piano.
Periodic Regulation
All upright and grand pianos require periodic regulation to enable them to perform at their best. The required frequency of regulation depends upon a number of factors, such as the piano’s exposure to humidity and temperature changes, frequency of use and the overall quality of the piano.
