After two-and-a-half years, I can say that the Grandworks regulation station has transformed my action work. I’m enjoying the process so much more, and getting more accurate results in the shop than I ever thought possible.

It seemed like a lot of money when I was weighing the decision to buy it, but now I really wish I had taken the plunge many years ago. The hammer hanging jig is also a joy to use— the best one on the market in my opinion.

Thanks for all your hard work in bringing this technology to us!

The Station duplicates string positioning and keybed peculiarities and, combined with protocols Chris has developed, enables the professional technician to bring an action to the shop and recreate perfectly the in-piano bedding and strike. This saves hours when the action is returned to the piano. 

It has paid for itself many times over.

Six Reasons We Bought a Regulation Station:

1. Accuracy: You can rely on it.

2. Educational: Our apprentice gained an understanding quickly.

3. Ergonomic: Out of the “cave” into the light. 

4. Practical: Pickup actions, regulate in the shop, and return to the piano. 

5. Rebuilding: Install new parts without the piano with confidence that they will work in the piano. 

6.  Troubleshooting: Viewing the action from almost any angle with an accurate target, you can feel and see the problem.
