Pasco, WA's Trusted Piano Service Technicians
Your piano is more than a piece of furniture — it is a precision instrument built from thousands of components that must work together to produce the sound and feel the instrument was designed to deliver. When any part of the system fails, deteriorates, or goes out of regulation, the entire playing experience suffers. At Dickerson's Piano Service in Pasco, WA, we provide the full range of acoustic piano care that keeps instruments performing at their best — from routine tuning appointments to complete mechanical rebuilds and refinishing. Every service we perform is rooted in technical knowledge, honest communication, and genuine respect for the instruments we work on.
We serve piano owners throughout the Tri-Cities and the surrounding southeast Washington and northeast Oregon area, working on uprights, grands, spinets, and consoles of all makes, ages, and conditions. Whether your piano is a recently purchased instrument that needs its first professional tuning or a family heirloom that has not been serviced in decades, Dickerson's Piano Service has the experience to assess it accurately and service it properly.

Complete Piano Care Services in Pasco, WA
Dickerson's Piano Service offers a full suite of acoustic piano services under one roof. Every service is performed with the same standard of care and the same commitment to honest, transparent communication about what your instrument needs and why.
Piano Tuning
Regular tuning is the most fundamental service any acoustic piano requires. A piano's approximately 220 strings must be adjusted to precise tensions so that every note vibrates at the correct pitch and every interval sounds harmonically accurate. At Dickerson's Piano Service, we tune to the A440 international standard and use professional technique to ensure tunings hold over time rather than slipping within days of the appointment. We also perform pitch raise services for pianos that have dropped significantly below standard pitch and need a preliminary pass before fine tuning can be accurately completed.
Piano Repairs
Mechanical failure, worn components, and structural damage all fall under the category of piano repair — and the range of issues we address is broad. From broken or sticking keys and worn hammer assemblies to cracked soundboards, failed damper systems, and damaged pedal trapwork, we diagnose the root cause of any problem and repair it correctly. Every repair begins with a thorough diagnostic inspection so that both the presenting issue and any underlying problems are identified before work begins.
Piano Rebuilding
When a piano's core systems have deteriorated beyond what individual repairs can address, rebuilding is the solution that restores the instrument to like-new performance. A full rebuild at Dickerson's Piano Service includes pinblock replacement, complete restringing, action rebuilding with new hammers and dampers, key recovering and rebushing, and soundboard and bridge work where warranted. We evaluate each instrument honestly to determine whether it is a strong candidate for the investment rebuilding requires — and we tell our clients directly when it is not.
Piano Refinishing
A piano's cabinet is a significant part of the instrument's presence in a home or performance space, and a deteriorated finish diminishes that presence regardless of how well the piano plays. Our refinishing service strips the old finish completely, prepares the wood substrate properly, and applies a new finish — in high-gloss polyester, lacquer, or satin options — to a professional standard. We also handle color changes for owners who want to update their piano's appearance as part of the refinishing process.

Serving Pasco, WA and the Surrounding Tri-Cities Area
Dickerson's Piano Service is based in Pasco, WA and serves piano owners throughout the Tri-Cities region, including Kennewick, Richland, and the surrounding communities. We work on instruments in private homes, teaching studios, churches, schools, and performance venues — anywhere an acoustic piano needs professional attention. Our familiarity with the local climate and its effects on piano stability allows us to give regionally relevant advice about tuning frequency, humidity management, and long-term instrument care that generic guidance cannot provide.
The high desert climate of Eastern Washington presents specific challenges for piano owners. Low humidity levels — particularly during winter months — cause the wooden components of a piano to contract, which affects pitch stability, action feel, and the integrity of glued joints over time. We address these conditions in our service recommendations and can advise on humidity control solutions that protect your instrument between appointments.
If you are in Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, or the surrounding area, contact Dickerson's Piano Service to schedule service for your piano.
Why Regular Piano Service Matters
A piano that is not maintained regularly does not simply sound worse over time — it develops compounding mechanical problems that become increasingly expensive to address the longer they go unattended. Strings that are never tuned drop progressively further from standard pitch, eventually requiring a pitch raise before accurate tuning is possible. Action components that are never regulated become increasingly uneven, making dynamic control difficult and masking the instrument's full expressive range. Hammers that are never voiced become harder and brighter, producing a tone that no amount of tuning can correct.
Regular professional service — tuning at minimum twice per year, with periodic regulation and inspection — catches small issues before they become large ones and keeps the piano performing at the standard it was designed to meet. Instruments that receive consistent care also hold their value better, respond more musically to the player, and provide a more rewarding experience for everyone who plays or listens to them.
The investment in routine piano service is modest relative to the value of the instrument it protects. Neglect, by contrast, is the most expensive choice a piano owner can make — because the cost of restoring a neglected piano always exceeds the cost of maintaining one.
