PIANO TUNING
Top Quality Piano Tuning
Tuning in private homes comprises the majority of my work. I use the traditional method of tuning by ear from one tuning fork. This is the method preferred by most concert artists, because it gives the most pleasant sound. Please give me a call or complete a contact form, and we can arrange a time that suits you.
Most manufacturers recommend tuning about twice a year. If your piano has gone without tuning for more than a year or two it may have dropped in tension and pitch. If that is the case, please send a request for a quote, or call on the phone, and I will explain your options.
Pianos have over 200 strings with about 150 lbs. tension each. That totals around 30,000 lbs. of tension. As a result, pianos are constantly dropping in tension and in pitch. If your piano has not been tuned in several years, it may have dropped in pitch too much to be brought back up in one tuning. The extra tuning is required, because for every amount I raise the pitch on a string, it changes back 10-38% in ten minutes.
I am available for concert and studio tuning as well and I also have years of experience tuning in churches and schools.
