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.
