Piano Tuning
Piano tuning ensures that the sounds of the strings match and make the piano sound its best. When keys on a piano are pressed, felt-covered hammers strike metal strings wound around pins embedded in a layered block of hardwood. When those pins are turned, the string tension is adjusted, changing the pitch of each string. For best results, we recommend tuning your piano at least once a year – ideally twice a year when the seasons change, as piano tunings are affected by changes in humidity and temperature.
