Ongoing care is the best approach to maintaining the integrity and value of your piano. People often call a piano technician when something is faulty with their instrument, instead of adhering to a regular schedule of upkeep. Generally, a new Steinway should be tuned four times during the first year, twice the second year, and once a year thereafter.
Finding a reliable piano technician with the experience and knowledge necessary to maintain and improve the overall performance of the instrument – as well as to pinpoint potential problem areas – will keep your piano in top performance. Ludwig Tomescu is one of the most reliable names in the industry throughout the greater New York City Metro area.
With three decades of experience working on Steinway & Sons pianos, you can have peace of mind knowing that your cherished instrument will be handled with the greatest of care and expertise.
Ludwig’s familiarity with Steinway is the reason that he was commissioned to work on the pianos at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall on behalf of the Concert Department at Steinway Hall in New York City. Mr. Tomescu’s services include rebuilding and restoring Steinway, Yamaha, Bechstein, Bosendorfer, Mason and Hamlin, and Baldwin pianos. An instrument that has sustained damage due to age and environmental conditions can be rebuilt and restored to its original splendor. No matter the age, keep in mind that your heirloom may also benefit from refinishing to ensure that it maintains its beautiful, elegant look.
With the comprehensive knowledge in technical and refinishing services offered by Ludwig Tomescu, be assured that your piano will receive the mastery required to preserve a most treasured possession.
