Piano Tuning Service
​Regular piano tuning is essential for preserving sound quality and overall stability. Pianos are intricate instruments with over 200 strings, each of which is tensioned between 150 and 200 pounds. Over time, tension can shift, resulting in a dull or unsettling sound.
Environmental factors like humidity and temperature have an impact on the piano's tension. Frequent playing can also lead to an out-of-tune piano, especially for professional performances. Regular tuning not only improves the sound experience but also extends the instrument's life, preventing issues such as inconsistent string wear and structural damage. Regular tuning also allows us to inspect other piano components, detecting minor issues early and avoiding major repairs. A well-maintained piano holds its value over time.
Why is Piano Tuning Important?
How often should I tune my piano?
We recommend tuning your piano once a year to make sure that it is at A440 standard pitch. If your piano has not been tuned in a long time, it may have drifted significantly off-pitch, requiring more time and money to bring it back to the standard pitch. This is why you should tune your piano once a year to save money on additional tunings while also extending the life of your piano.
If your piano hasn't been tuned in a long time, don't worry; you've come to the right place. We also specialize in tuning old pianos that may not have been tuned in years. We can help you make your piano sound beautiful while not breaking any strings, which can be an expensive process.
