Haydens Piano Service and Studio Serving NE PA since 1976

Business Philosophy: Our Service is not measured in gold But by the Golden Rule The Player is more important than the Piano !! Pianos are not Eternal. String tensions go from 19,000 lbs to 35,000+ lbs., and they begin to implode slowly as soon as they are made. Soundboards have a crown and are bearing a side tension from 350 to 600 lbs, and they slowly collapse. Since the 1800's pianos have included cast iron frames to hold all this in place, but outer frames, soundboards, bridges and action parts are all crafted from many kinds of wood, and wood ages, swells, shrinks, dries out, wears out, warps out, hates water, and gives piano tuners a lot to do to maintain and bring out their best. And it's usually great fun, VERY skilled, and a lifetime of learning.
