Tuning Pianos

Once a piano has been purchased it should be tuned and maintained regularly by a competent, qualified tuner/technician. As a general rule, a piano will require tuning every six months. Pianos experiencing heavy usage should be tuned more often.

Pianos should always be tuned to concert pitch, (A=440 Hz). If a piano is allowed to fall below this pitch then it will take more than one tuning to haul it up again.

A well tuned piano should sound even throughout the compass of the entire keyboard. Although there are exceptions, pianos generally have three strings for each note, two in the octave or so below middle C and one in the bottom octave. The strings for each note sound clear and without discord.
