How new hammers can restore the tone of your piano

This picture shows me replacing old hammers with new ones on one of my piano restoration projects.

Replacing hammers is a significant part of a tuner's maintenance procedures as it restores an instrument's sound, touch and overall value.

Over time, the felt on piano hammers becomes compacted, grooved and hardened from the thousands of impacts.

This results in a dull or harsh tone and reduces control for the player.

New hammers restore the instrument's original, rich tone by ensuring a proper, soft-yet-resilient strike on the strings. If your piano is sounding dull or harsh, please give me a call and I will happily give you a free estimate.
