WHY TUNE REGULARLY?
All musical instruments need tuning, some EVERY time or WHILE you play. Contrary to popular belief, pianos are actually far less fussy.
Pianos de-tune the most in late fall and early spring in Connecticut due to the swelling and contracting of the soundboard. Regular 6 month tuning services, with the help of humidity control, help keep pianos tuned right around A440hz where they’re built to be played at.
WHY IT MUST BE IN TUNE FOR BEGINNERS
Children’s minds, eyes, & ears are like sponges. Out-of-tune pianos will be instilled in their minds and ears which hinders their ability to hear & learn music correctly.
INSPECT & TUNE
I inspect in the first 10 minutes to develop the best game plan. NEXT, IT’S TUNING, CLEANING, AND ADJUSTING TIME. To finish it off, I’ll demonstrate a few songs for you to hear ;)
For optimal tuning results, a fairly quiet environment in the piano room is best. Please remove anything non-piano related from the piano as I will be removing the cabinetry. Thank you!
