Since it is the piano and not the pianola that is tuned, all the information on this can be found under “How and how often should my piano be tuned?”.
However, since the upper unit usually has to be removed for tuning in order to reach the tuning pins, this should only be done by a piano tuner who also knows how to handle pianolas. Removal is normally less of a problem – but when reinstalling, the function must be restored very carefully.
In addition, as part of the service, the pianola mechanism is also checked, oiled at the designated points, tested with a test roll and adjusted. Above all, the aim is to match the piano and the pianola to each other as well as possible.
We work closely with the few experts still active today and can coordinate the service for your pianola instrument if required.
