The Importance of Piano Tuning and Maintenance

Pianos are not the most affordable instruments. Even a basic model is an investment.

You could have also inherited yours from a loved one, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. Why not give it the TLC it deserves?

What is Piano Tuning?

Tuning a piano, in basic terms, means adjusting the tension in each string to the perfect pitch. It's not that simple, of course. Our tuners spend years honing their skills to get the perfect tune.

They use a specialized wrench to twist the pinblock mechanisms to adjust the strings. Then they play a note, hold it for a sustained period, and listen for uneven or wobbly sounds. One string may need multiple adjustments until the wavering pitch and tonal inconsistencies in different octaves disappear.

Why Regular Tuning is Essential

Stick to your piano maintenance routine to keep your instrument sounding its best. Factors that may necessitate more piano service and tuning work include:

  • Humidity: Our muggy, subtropical climate in Arkansas may cause the instrument’s wood to swell, which stretches the strings. Your piano should be in a room with stable humidity between 40 to 60 percent when possible.
  • Usage: Did you know that pianos naturally lose clarity the more you play them? The impact of the hammers hitting the strings changes the tension and pitch little by little.
  • Temperature: Never put your piano next to a regularly opened window, HVAC vent, or radiator. Extreme heat or cold and erratic temperature swings can easily affect the tuning and damage its wooden parts.

Comprehensive Piano Servicing

Having helped many musicians in central Arkansas over the years, we know some issues go beyond basic tuning. It’s not our first rodeo, so rest assured that we’ll have your piano singing like a bird in no time.

We work hard to accommodate every need with a range of services, including:

  • General cleaning: Do you want to restore the gleam in your piano, but you’re afraid you might ruin the finish? Sit back as we safely remove dirt, dust, and other contaminants inside and out.
  • Hammer replacement: The continuous striking of strings warps the piano hammer after several years. Deteriorated parts can’t create clear tones, so we change them for a fresh, vibrant sound.
  • Pedal adjustments: Does the sustain pedal seem too loose or too stiff? We’ll fine-tune it until it feels responsive.
  • String replacement: When you play one particular key and hear an odd twang, it could have a damaged string.

What’s your specific issue? Rattling noises, damaged keys, muffled sounds — we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.

Our Professional Piano Tuning Process

The secret to our consistently stellar professional tuning is this tried-and-tested approach:

  • Initial assessment: The minute details matter. Our team reviews every nook and cranny of the instrument to identify issues that need fixing first.
  • Pitch correction: We keep our trained ears focused on every note. Grand pianos often take the most time because they have the highest string count.
  • Fine-tuning: Accurate pitch is just the beginning. Our experts continue to make small, meticulous adjustments until you have rich, balanced sound throughout the keyboard.
  • Servicing: Do you have an older Bösendorfer that could use extra lubrication or a Steinway model with loose screws? We proceed with additional treatments when necessary.
