Piano Tuning, Regulation, and Repair Tools

The tools we sell are not flea market quality.
I was asked to carry a line of Chinese tools by the manufacturer.
I examined samples, and they were typical--
Machining was poor, steel blackened with age, and they
showed that piano technicians did not design them.
You can save a bundle on the Web by hunting for Chinese junk.
To you who want quality, welcome.

You MUST browse the Catalog area, and try to learn what you want. We no longer search our catalog for you.

Have this information ready:
1. Description of parts
2. Part Numbers
3. Prices
4. Dimensions where needed
BEFORE you call us please.

Make sure you are in the catalog area for your kind of piano--
Such as Grand Pianos,
Full Uprights, Spinets, etc.

If you are confused, do not phone us until you have SENT E-MAIL and asked for help.

If we do not answer the phone, we are probably here-- Just try again a little later. We don't answer our phone mail too well.
:-)

There are some jobs that require the right tools. Piano tuning is
one of them. I have seen the tuning pins after someone tried to
tune a piano with vice grips or an inverted quarter inch socket.
The point is not only the botched job of tuning-- Often the pins
are ruined and have to be removed and replaced-- VERY costly!

Don't try to improvise unless I have told you how in the online book chapters.

For all parts possible I give you a diagram identity number so you can go to
the Diagram and double check to see if you are ordering the right part. It is
impossible to give a "Back" button to return from so many links, so please
use your browser's "Back" button.

Also, I give you a link to the page which tells how to make the repair or
installation of the new part.

very fast service.

EXHAUSTIVE WORD INDEX OF THE WHOLE SITE:

This page contains the basic tools of the Piano Tuner / Technician
Perhaps you are specifically looking for.......

Why are our Tool Kit choices a bit complex?

First, we have found that most folks can figure out what we are doing here.
Second, every person has slightly differing needs. So, we want YOU to have options.
Virtually no one in this trade offers the mix and match method of building a tool kit like this.
So, get a cup of java, and spend some time. You will be able to get the very best combination
of tools to meet your needs.

Touch Up Tool Kit
(No Regulating Tools Included):

Indicate "Touch Up Tool Kit " on the order blank
or when ordering by phone.

This tool kit is for the person who wants to keep the piano in tune between regular tunings.
There are no regulating tools in this kit.
For regulation as well as tuning tools see the next kit below.
Here are some reasons why to buy this kit:

1. You need to do a panic tuning and the piano tuner is not available.
This kit will be on hand and ready.
2. You have a piano tuner tune regularly,
but you simply want to clean up various notes which go out
due to weather or moving the piano.
3. You have notes where the tuning pins are loose and particular strings go out frequently.
4. A string broke, and you are replacing it yourself.
5. You have a studio and demand absolute perfection.
A professional tuning every week is out of the question financially.
6. Your piano has been restrung, and the strings need to be pulled up frequently
until they are seasoned.

NO CHINESE JUNK HERE:
This is a "Made in USA" Kit, in that, all these tools come from Schaff Piano Supply, not Shanghai, China!
These tools are made and approved by American Piano Technician Guild members and by Schaff's years
of experience demanding the best workmanship in tools. This is not flea market junk. I have samples of
piano tools made in China, and they are typical-- tinkering quality at best. If you have notions of starting
a piano tuning business, these tools will stay with you for years and be passed on to your son.
We cannot price the quality tools we sell anywhere near the price of Charlie Wong's tools.

Tuning Pin Socket for Brace Three sided for carpenter's brace
For turning in and removing tuning pins fast 3 1/4 inch long
16079 in illustration SH25 $ 27.60 np

Tuning Pin Extractor This 3/4 inch long tool (not shown in Illustration) will remove
a tuning pin which has been damaged by amateur efforts to turn a tuning pin
with improvised tools. It will also remove a pin which has broken off at the
hole. The tool fits into the tip of a tuning lever. It has tapered reversed threads
so that, when turned counterclockwise, it bites the top of the broken pin and
removes it. This is similar to an "easy out" used in automotive applications on
broken engine bolts. It will seldom be needed, but when such an emergency
transpires, this is the ONLY thing to save the day. It should be in EVERY
professional tool kit. If the tuner before you did not have one, this tool will
make you look like his superior for sure. You will want to price the task to
pay for the tool the first time since you will seldom use it. SH110 $ 34.00 np

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

After 23 years of tuning pianos I have suffered some hearing loss. I did not have any indication that this could happen when I started in the tuning trade. In recent years I have talked to several tuners who had the same experience. Other tuners have told me they use ear plugs to reduce the volume of sound to protect their hearing.
Hearing protection must not interfere with hearing the beats and subtleties of sound. So, I have located a source for ear plugs which will reduce the sound level by 17 decibels. This is enough to take the force out of the loud pounding we need to do to set a string so that it will not move later.
I personally tested the ear plugs, and I was very pleased with the results. I could still hear all of the tone and sound features I needed in order to tune, but the pain was gone. I am so sorry I did not learn about this long ago.
These are not generic ear plugs, though I admit they look rather simplistic in the photo. They are tested and approved for safety purposes in the industrial world and are used in machine shops where mid level noise is a problem. Instructions are included to properly fit the ear plugs. They must be worn under the chin to be effective. This also gets them out of the way when working.
The yellow replacement plugs are available though our store.
Part Number-- MCM55245T8 PRICE- $ 9.85
Pair of new yellow ear caps-- Part Number-- MCM55245T9 PRICE- $ 4.75
May I say this.... ?
At our store we are constantly watching for new products, and crossover products,
which will make your tuning experience safer and more excellent. If you see a need
to solve some issue in piano related needs, SEND MAIL please.
