TUNING
-
An out of tune piano will discourage anyone from playing! For the developing
musician an in-tune piano trains young ears
properly. Regular tuning also prevents expensive future maintenance.
According to Steinway & Sons….“Your Steinway piano was tuned many
times before it left our factory. It was tuned to and should be
maintained at A440 pitch. This is the internationally accepted
standard and the standard for which all Steinway pianos are
engineered. Unfortunately, no matter how expertly a piano is tuned,
atmospheric variations and the nature of the piano's construction
constantly conspire to bring it off pitch. Your Steinway has been
designed and built so that in normal use and under normal conditions
it should need only periodic tuning. We recommend that your
technician be called at least three or four times a year.”
METHOD OF TUNING - Pianos can be tuned in basically two ways
- by "ear", which has always been the traditional way, and
by using an electronic tuning device. We use both
methods.
Piano tuning keeps your piano up to pitch (a “C” on your
piano sounds like a “C” on other well-tuned pianos ). This
standard is called A-440. There are about 20 tons of
pressure on the cast iron harp of your piano. This pressure
tends to lesson over time, thus lowering the pitch of your
instrument. Keeping your piano STABILIZED means your piano
will sound almost the same from tuning to tuning.
REPAIR, REBUILDING, REGULATING & RESTRINGING
- Over time, piano parts wear out and need
adjustment (regulating), repair or replacement. We
have experience in every area and can make recommendations
that are cost effective and permanent. If major work
(rebuilding) is necessary,you will receive an estimate to
help with the decision.
