Voicing is a procedure to adjust or restore the tone quality of the sound of your piano.
Tone can be described as bright, glassy, warm, mellow, hush, dark, etc., and the preference of tone quality is strongly linked to personal taste.
The room acoustics, the wear and compact of the hammers, and the aging of the piano's strings and structures will alter the tone of a piano. Some of the signs that indicate the need of voicing are uneven tone from note to note, diminished ability to achieve range of tone, and difficulty to play soft.
Two of the most common voicing techniques are hammer re-shaping and needling.
