Frequently Asked Questions
Why is regular piano tuning important?
Regular tuning ensures your piano sounds its absolute best, with all notes perfectly in tune for an optimal listening and playing experience. It also prevents further going out of tune.
How often should I tune my piano?
Tune at least twice a year. Pianos go out of tune over time due to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Twice-yearly tuning keeps it sounding amazing all year.
What's involved in a piano evaluation?
A comprehensive inspection of all components - soundboard, action, strings, cabinet, and more. Evaluates condition, playing performance, repairs needed, and remaining lifespan.
Why get my keys cleaned?
Cleaning removes built-up grime, oils, and bacteria from fingers. This maximizes key responsiveness, preserves appearance, and ensures cleanliness.
Can humidity really affect my piano?
Absolutely! Pianos are highly sensitive to humidity levels. Swings can cause wood components to swell or shrink, drastically impacting tuning stability.
What's regulation and why is it important?
Regulation optimizes the mechanical operation and touch of your piano's action for an even response across all keys. It's key for control and expression.
