Tuning
Pianos are quite sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity which can cause your piano to become out of tune. As will heavy and continuous playing. The age of the piano is also a factor, in older pianos due to the condition of the tuning pins and the pinblock and in younger pianos sometimes there is tuning instability due to the strings stretching. It should also be noted that as pianos age and wear, they may be less able to happily hold concert pitch of A440hz (concert pitch).
When we arrive to tune your piano we will assess the condition and age of the piano, discuss and advise, if necessary, as to whether we can tune to concert pitch or if it is better to tune the piano to itself at a slightly lower pitch. Contact us on our home page if you have an enquiry or see below for our tuning services.
Pitch Correction.
A piano that is more than a few hertz flat will need a pitch correction which involves a longer appointment and greater adjustments to be made to the piano. If some years have passed since your last tuning, 1 or more pitch corrections may be needed to re-establish the desired pitch and tuning stability of your piano.
