Your piano maker for 35 years
The work of a piano maker covers a wide range of different activities. This ranges from tuning, sales and advice to the complete overhaul of an antique instrument in the workshop.
The work of a piano maker covers a wide range of different activities. This ranges from tuning, sales and advice to the complete overhaul of an antique instrument in the workshop.
As a specialist, I recommend that piano or grand piano owners have their instruments checked once a year. This keeps the tuning stable, which means nothing other than a beautiful sounding instrument. Minor inconveniences such as background noises or sticking keys can also be rectified at the same time.
With me, you also benefit from the annual reminder service - by email or telephone if you wish - which most of my customers really appreciate.
The action refers to the keys and the mechanism, which is located behind the upper lid of the piano and is partially visible when the keys are struck. The action contains the sophisticated lever mechanism, which enables the pianist to translate the smallest finger movements into music.
The action of an upright or grand piano works purely mechanically and is accordingly subject to wear and tear. However, even the best materials do not last forever and so every 15-20 years, depending on the demands of the musician and the quality of the instrument,
a more thorough overhaul of the action is necessary in order to guarantee perfect functioning and thus dynamic music-making.
An overhaul of the mechanism can range from a light service to the replacement of irreparably worn parts.
Installing a digital piano in your piano is an ingenious alternative to buying a second instrument. You benefit from the advantages of the electronic piano (headphones make you independent of the time of day), save money and always play on your familiar instrument. The new generation of pianodisc also offers the self-playing function like the old roll pianos!
The installation takes 1 or 2 days, depending on the instrument, and costs around CHF 3000
In the vast majority of cases, it is worth consulting an expert before making a decision about an upright or grand piano
.- I expertize your instrument
- I assess a second-hand instrument that you intend to buy
- I advise you on the sale of your instrument
In short: I will be happy to advise you on all matters relating to upright and grand pianos. Give me a call (079 209 69 66) or send me an e-mail info@wilkerpianos.ch
Accessories such as piano chairs, piano lamps, dust or transport blankets tailored to the instrument, hygrometers, metronomes, humidifiers and and and can of course be ordered from me.
Installation of climate control system
As already mentioned, a stable climate is a guarantee for stable tuning of an instrument. To compensate for the dryness of the winter months, there are various installation systems for upright and grand pianos
The simplest and most cost-effective is the so-called Hydrocel rod, a plastic tube filled with cellulose, which, soaked in water in the bathtub, is attached to the back of the piano cover. With the rising warm air, it supplies the missing moisture to the inside of the instrument.
The so-called Dampp-Chaser is a fully automatic climate control system that keeps the microclimate around an instrument in ideal condition at all times. The system is already standard for concert instruments, but is suitable for any instrument that requires special care.Accessories such as piano chairs, piano lamps, dust or transport blankets adapted to the instrument, hygrometers, metronomes, humidifiers and and and can of course be ordered from me.
