Tuning your piano is essential to maintaining this complicated instrument. It should be done at regular intervals to keep your piano at its best both structurally and musically.

​

If your piano is new, it is recommended to tune it more often in the first year or two to build a stable tuning environment and keep it sounding its best.

​

If your piano has not been tuned in a long time (two years or more), it will probably require a series of tunings known as a "pitch raise" to bring the instrument back to proper pitch and create stability.

​

When coming to service your instrument for the first time, I allow a bit of extra time with you and with the instrument to understand how it is used, its condition and to formulate a plan to best maintain the piano for the enjoyment of its users.
