How often should my piano be tuned?

It depends on several factors, including the age and quality of the instrument and the environment in which it is located. The biggest factors are how much it is played and how steady the temperature and humidity is. With ideal conditions (only small temp and humidity fluctuations), many pianos can go one year between tunings. In other situations, especially with mass produced Asian pianos, they will need two or more tunings a year to sound their best year round. Pianos should always be tuned before special performances in concert halls, churches, schools, or other venues.

Is My piano worth fixing?

Repairing and refurbishing any piano is typically not cheap, but in comparison, it is much cheaper than the cost of a new piano. That’s why we offer comprehensive services relating to the proper care and adjustment to your piano. As a rule of thumb, the average handmade American piano will be worth putting some money into to extend its usable life. And if your piano has strong sentimental value, then we would recommend some professional TLC. While it is not an investment that will pay off financially (exceptions being Steinway pianos), it will pay off musically for decades to come.
