Tuning
Access the Musical Potential of your Piano with BCPC's Educational and Performance level Piano tuning
These tunings, lay the basis for fast and efficient learning, effective teaching and convincing performance,
Experienced piano builder Johann Krebs, President of B.C. Pianocraft Ltd. and concert tuner at UBC and many famous institutions
world wide, follows the Educational and Performance Standards in his tunings. These Standards apply to the tuning, preparation,
and set-up of study, teaching and performance pianos, especially when they are new, used for serious study, or have not been used for some time.
All styles, upright and grand pianos benefit.
The dynamic tone and the clearly focused pitch bring out the full potential of the piano overcoming many problems of
an acoustical nature and of limitations sometimes encountered in some pianos. Stability, cost efficiency, and value enhancement are characteristic
of the tunings and skill with which they are applied.
Types of Tunings Available
Various categories of piano tuning are available. Recreational piano tunings fulfill the needs of the pianist who loves music as a hobby.
The Educational tuning is a step up and meets standards for teaching and learning to play the piano, regulating the piano so that learning becomes more enjoyable for the student,
allowing the student to focus on the musical aspects of the piano. The Performance level tuning is what we do for all concert halls and concert grande pianos. It brings out the
singing quality of the piano and focuses on its strengths as an instrument.
Each piano tuning includes a full inspection of your piano and its playing capabilities.
We use a combination of computer tuning programs and our own ear to ensure both accurate tunings and a warm smooth tone.
A piano tuning can take from 2-3 hours because we need to make several passes of all the strings to ensure a quality tuning.
We will also vacuum all the dust from your piano and do any spot repairs on it.
If, through our examination of your piano, we discover areas that need to be repaired, we will discuss all aspects of the repair job with you. A general description of available repair work and prices is given in the repairs section.
