Kerry County Council and the Kerry School of Music have hit the right note when teaming up to ensure the council’s Steinway Model D concert piano has been fully serviced.
It entailed an assessment of the instrument, cleaning out of the interior, full action and tonal regulation of the keyboard.
The service also included shaping the hammers, the dampers were checked and adjusted, the pedal mechanism was cleaned and regulated and tuned to A440 Hz.
It is available for recitals or masterclasses by professional artists, subject to receiving appropriate applications and on condition that they have public liability insurance.
Its permanent base is the Kerry School of Music and is available to hire but a prior application must be completed and, if approved, it must be transferred by Jeffers of Bandon only.
Application forms are available on the Kerry County Council website: https://arts.kerrycoco.ie/arts-forms-funding/
For additional information and support contact the Arts Office on 066-7183541 or email arts@kerrycoco.ie.
