Luteset provides careful, precise piano tuning and repair for homes, studios, schools, and churches in Laurel, Maryland. We work by ear and by measurement, so your instrument sounds the way it was built to sound.
A full pass across all 88 keys, bringing the piano to standard concert pitch and correcting drift from temperature and humidity.
For pianos that have fallen well below pitch. A rough pass raises the pitch, then a fine pass sets it precisely.
Adjustment of the action, hammers, and keys so touch and response stay even across the keyboard.
Sticking keys, broken strings, worn hammers, and tone shaping, assessed and repaired on site where possible.
A close final tuning timed for a performance, recital, or session, at the venue or studio.
Installation of an in-piano climate control system to keep tuning stable through Maryland's seasons.
