Voicing & tone shaping

Voicing is the adjustment of a piano’s hammers to influence how the strings speak. It can help address unevenness or a tone that feels too hard or too soft, but the result depends on the piano’s condition and the player’s preference.

Tone is personal

A piano’s sound comes from many parts working together. Voicing is considered in context, with careful listening across the keyboard and a discussion of the tone you want.

Condition matters

Hammer condition, regulation, strings and the instrument’s general health can all affect the result. Voicing does not replace repairs or regulation where those are needed.

Describe what you hear

Tell us which notes or areas sound uneven and what you would like to change. A technician can assess whether voicing is appropriate for the piano.
