The most common question asked of us is “How often does my piano need to be tuned?”\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A piano goes out of tune when the piano is subjected to heat and humidity changes.\u00a0 Moving the piano does not hurt the tuning until the piano reacts to different temperature and humidity levels. The change in atmosphere affects the dimensions of the case parts making pianos go sharp in higher humidity and flat in lower humidity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In residential use a piano should be tuned at the change of seasons.\u00a0 Four tunings a year is ideal.\u00a0 If the temperature and humidity are kept constant through external devices such as a humidifier in the winter months and air conditioning in the summer, the need for tuning can be minimized and reduced to twice a year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In professional use the piano needs to be tuned more frequently. Usually this occurs because of increased use or an institutional atmosphere such as an auditorium that may have the heat and air conditioning turned on or off frequently.\u00a0 For high level professional use (like a concert hall) the piano may need to be tuned daily to insure that it is in perfect tune for each instance of concert or recording work.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n

Tuning a piano is a profession that requires training, practice, and a knowledge base that takes an investment of time and practice to learn and master. It is best to leave tuning to the professionals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
