Services offered by Bangert Piano

For over two decades, Bangert Piano Service has focused on providing full service, high quality work on all pianos in Anne Arundel county and the greater Baltimore area. As a full time piano technician who offers action regulation, as well as piano rebuilding services, Bangert Piano Service has developed a thorough knowledge of piano parts and functions through experience and ongoing continuing education to successfully diagnose and implement corrective procedures for the many issues pertaining to piano maintenance and repair.

Bangert Piano upholds and applies the rigorous standards set forth by the Piano Technicians Guild and has earned the title of Registered Piano Technician (RPT). To become an RPT, one must pass a series of three extensive tests. The first evaluates ones knowledge and understanding of piano design, tuning theory, repair techniques, and other topics pertaining to piano technology. The second test evaluates ones ability to accurately complete many repairs, as well as to be able to assemble and regulate both vertical and grand piano actions, in a timely and professional manner. In the third test, the tuning exam, the candidate must tune a piano that has been ” master tuned” and then detuned by a panel of tuning experts. The results are then measured using sensitive electronics to reveal any deviations from the established master tuning.

In addition, Rob adheres to the principles and methods learned having received training from the Steinway factory in 1995, as well as the Yamaha Little Red Schoolhouse during the same year.

Together with plentiful years of experience dealing with cloth, felt, piano wire, wood and other materials found in pianos, the knowledge and expertise of Bangert Piano is prepared to service all makes and models of pianos.
