Piano tuning is the art of making adjustments to the tensions in the strings of a piano so that the instrument is in tune. The meaning of the term "in tune" in the context of piano tuning is not as straightforward as it might seem, as it does not refer to the assignment of particular fixed set of pitches as it may with other instruments. Fine piano tuning isn't just mechanics. It requires an assessment of the interaction between notes, which is different for every piano, thus in practice requiring slightly different pitches from any theoretical standard. Tuning is important Pianos should be tuned every six months regardless of seasonal changes. New and rebuilt pianos are the exception. These should be tuned a minimum of four times the first year. Tuning is important for more reasons than good sound. Allowing a piano to go or remain out of tune can result in the need for extensive, and expensive, repairs. |
