Keep your piano in good shape
Standard Tuning & Maintenance Package
The piano which Yuji meets for the first time generally needs more work than just tuning. For example pedal may be squeaky, some keys are not working or pitch of the instrument is lower than concert pitch.
This package covers fixing many minor issues and brings the piano up to standard condition including tuning at concert pitch which is 440 Hz at note of A4 (A above mid-C). Some pianos may not be possible bringing up to standard level due to poor condition. Yuji will discuss with you what he can do.

Dampp-Chaser®, Piano Life Saver System,
Auckland has a relatively humid climate. This is not good for pianos. The action may get sticky/sluggish or heavy due to expanded felts, woods and cloths in the piano action. Metal parts especially strings may get rust if climate in the piano is at a high humidity level.
Even in dry climates and centrally-heated rooms, the humidifier functions are invaluable. My experience is that tuning stability and piano tone is improved with the use of a Dampp-Chaser®, Piano Life Saver System, as the piano is operating in the correct climate.
