Piano Repair

Your piano doesn't respond like it used to?

Understand
before acting

Before talking about major repairs, we must first understand what is really going on.

With over 25 years of experience, Patrick Brennan precisely targets the necessary adjustments with no unnecessary work, no surprises, and no exaggeration.

Restore the best, without redoing everything

Our approach: Thoughtful and intelligent restoration, never systematic.

Every piano deserves a precise analysis before discussing major work.

Rather than imposing a complete restoration, I evaluate what can be optimized, adjusted, or improved in stages. The goal is simple: intervene where relevant, preserve what works, and logically evolve the instrument — according to its condition, age, usage, and your budget.

When the instrument justifies it and the budget allows, a complete restoration can of course be considered. In this case, it is carried out with the same rigor: thoughtfully, planned, and adapted to the piano's true potential.

Regulation
(The maintenance your piano demands)

Regulation is the essential mechanical maintenance of the piano. Over time, felts compact, wood shifts, and adjustments go out of tune.

Without regulation, you may experience:

Sticking keys
Bouncing hammers
Uneven sounds
Suspicious mechanical noises

A well-regulated mechanism is the natural extension of your fingers.

What a regulation
can include

Depending on the condition of your piano, a complete regulation may include:

  • Targeted mechanical adjustments
  • Hammer alignment and maintenance
  • Cleaning and lubrication of the action
  • Repair or replacement of defective parts
  • Key and pedal adjustment

Each piano is evaluated individually.

A piano is also
a legacy

A well-maintained piano lasts for years. It carries memories... and often a family history.

During a complete regulation, minor exterior touch-ups can be done for free, when possible — because a piano deserves to be beautiful as well as functional.

Explain the symptoms to me

I will tell you frankly if an intervention is necessary — and which one.
