PIANOLOGY

PIANO TUNING

Tuning is the most basic part of regular piano maintenance. Most piano manufacturers will suggest that you have your piano professionally tuned at least two times a year (every six months). This insures not only that your piano stays in tune as the seasons, temperatures and humidity change but also that no undue stress is placed on the sound board, case and other tension dependent portions of your piano.

The question I am most often asked is “Do you use a machine to tune?”.
I am a 100% aural tuner – that is I bring one tuning fork and a tuning hammer and use my brain to give your piano that best tuning it has had since it left the factory! I do not use a machine to tune pianos – I figure you didn’t hire a machine to tune your piano, you hired a human to decide what sounds good to human ears.
