Piano Services
Piano Services
Your piano is an investment that can bring you and your family a lifetime of music, and add joy and beauty to your home. The piano’s ability to respond to the pianist’s artistic and technical requirements is optimised by having it tuned, regulated and voiced at the appropriate time. The piano reaches its full potential as a musical instrument when regulation, tuning and voicing are all done well.
- Tuning. Tuning services are offered for upright and grand pianos.
- Regulating. Regulating services are offered only for grand pianos. Candidate pianos are evaluated to determine if they are in suitably good condition for regulating, and if not what needs to be done to achieve that state. Options and costs will be discussed with the client.
- Reconditioning/Rebuilding. Reconditioning/rebuilding services are offered only for grand pianos. Candidate pianos are evaluated to determine the scope of work. Options and costs will be discussed with the client.
- Voicing. This is done as the last step of a regulation job. Standing alone voicing jobs may be accepted for pianos that are already in reasonably good regulation.

Player & Recording Piano Solutions
88Keys is the Singapore dealer for QRS Music Technologies, the creator of Pianomation®, the first MIDI system to combine analog and digital technology to turn any piano into a reproducing player piano. QRS Music was founded in 1900 and is based in Seneca, Pennsylvania. QRS produces music content in digital form and as piano rolls. QRS is the only manufacturer of piano rolls in the world today.
We are focusing on the PNOmation OT (the world’s first and only portable player piano solution), PNOscan MIDI recorder solution, and the PNOscan Studio MIDI recorder/controller solution.
QRS’s smart driver processors can deliver 2048 levels of control to the solenoids driving the keys, and therefore able to take advantage of MIDI 2.0’s higher resolution note data. A fully proportional pedal driver is planned for release in late-2021. Customers will be field-upgraded as and when updates and improvements are released.
