Marjorie Wisler Basic Service Appointment: $210 We have three different options for our services depending on what type of maintenance your piano needs. Our piano tuning services are very affordable. See our page on piano repair services for more information. During a routine piano tuning, we can find parts that are starting to wear out and replace them before they break. That dramatically changes the sound of chords, and not in a good way! That’s one reason it’s important for a piano to be tuned at least 1-2 times a year.Īnother reason is that a piano has thousands of moving parts, and sometimes those parts start to wear out. In other words, if you press middle C on a severely out-of-tune piano, you might actually hear C#. In fact, if a piano goes long enough without being tuned, it will eventually get to the point where the note actually being played is half-step higher or lower than the key being pressed. Unfortunately, changes in humidity affect the wood in a piano, which changes the pressure on the piano strings and over a period of time will cause it to no longer be tuned to A440. This means that just about all professionally recorded or performed music that you listen to will use this standard, so it’s what our ears are used to hearing. It has been the recognized international general tuning standard for musical pitch since 1939. Piano technicians tune pianos to what is known as A440, which has a frequency of 440 Hz and represents the note of “A” above middle C.
Piano tuning is very important for musicians of all levels, whether they be performers, music students, or just occasional piano players.
