Awesome Job On My Steinway!
I have a 1922 Steinway B that has a beautiful tone, but the action played too heavy. In fact, an initial measurement of the key down weight came in at 62 grams (the standard is closer to 53 grams)! Playing on it was unwieldy and felt like running in sand. I talked to other technicians and got answers ranging from replacing pins to even replacing the hammers. As a last resort, I called Franco to see if he could help. We met, and I was impressed with his thorough knowledge of pianos and Steinways in particular. He took the action to his shop for about 10 days, and I can only say that the difference is astounding. The heaviness of the keys is gone, the down weight has been dramatically reduced, and the speed of repeated notes has come alive. Even the tone seems more luminous and singing. Franco has literally transformed my piano and now it is a joy to play. I would thoroughly recommed him to all my piano colleagues. Franco is a true master of his craft. Thanks so much!
