Frequently
Asked Questions about Tuning and Maintenance.
How
often will my piano need tuning?
The
stability of the area that the piano is
kept in will probably determine how often
tuning is required, but the 'average' piano
will need tuning every six months or so
to keep it at concert pitch.
Why
does the piano action need maintenance?
Like
other instruments, the moving parts of the
piano need to be serviced form time to time.
The quality of the instrument and the amount
it is used will all determine how often
this should be done. Even the pedals will
need periodical adjustment.
Where
is the best place to keep my piano?
Pianos
do not like changes in temperature or humidity
so try to keep them away from radiators
and windows. Locate your instrument in a
room that keeps a constant 18-21 degrees
celsius. A dehumidifier can stabilise the
room further ensuring the long life of your
instrument.
