Keysound was founded by Nigel Makepeace who has been trading from the same premises for the last 34 years. One of the reasons for the success of the business is our attention to after sales service. We have many customers who have now been with us for a quarter of a century and have become personal friends.
With the advancement in technology over recent times we have been able to assist our valued customers with questions regarding Midi, computers, software, service or with general advice. We specialise in helping with top end keyboards, such as the Korg PA2x, Roland E80, and the Tyros3.

What is Piano Voicing or Toning?
Voicing is an extremely difficult area. It's subjective in the extreme, and has caused endless discussion in piano maintenance circles. But the final goal of voicing is to have the hammers striking the notes of the piano to offer a uniform sound from the bottom to the top of the instrument. Goes without saying that evaluating this capability is governed by the capability of the piano, and the construction of the action parts. But, often a technician will find extremes in voicing, such as a particularly hard hammer, which may result in a note sounding louder than the rest. But, this too can be laid at the door of regulation. This is where the tuner's skill comes into play here. Voicing can be accomplished by pricking the hammer with a set of needles. This pricking changes the structure of the felt, and softens the hammer to a degree.
What is toning?This is the reverse of voicing, and accomplishes the inverse sort of thing. May be necessary to bring up a particularly soft sounding hammer, and bring it into line with its neighbours. This is accomplished by applying a special material to the hammers or ironing with a special tool.
