Piano Tuning
***PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT CORONAVIRUS MESSAGE BELOW***
Satisfaction and enjoyment of playing the piano depends largely on having your piano tuned regularly. Despite your level of playing, a well tuned piano creates a better experience both for the player and the audience. Pianos produce a wide spectrum of sound and regular piano tuning ensures that the melodies and harmonies that you play blend together musically as they should in the way that they were meant to be heard and listened to.
Regular piano tuning of at least one time per year is recommended for anyone who owns a piano regardless of your level of playing. Because pianos are mostly made of wood, the stability of the tuning is affected by differences in weather and the changing of the seasons. The wooden components of the piano are susceptible to changes in temperature, pressure and humidity, which causes the wood to expand, contract or slighty warp in different climate conditions. This is especially true for the climate in which we live. When the wood in the piano's structure slighty distorts due to differences in the weather it causes the tension of the strings to change and therefore sound out of tune. Regular tuning throughout the year keeps your piano more stable during the different seasons and prolongs the value and life expectancy of your piano.
Pianos should also be tuned prior to events in which the player is expected to be performing at their best. This includes events like formal recitals, in home recitals, concerts, shows, recording sessions etc. Also if playing with other musicians, ensembles or singers it is important to have all the instruments properly tuned together. Tuning is also recommended after moving a piano from one location to another. After the piano is moved allow it to set about 2 weeks to adjust to its new location and then have it tuned.
