What causes pianos to go out of tune?
Pianos go out of tune for a variety of reasons, ranging from environmental factors to the piano's construction. Ecological factors include changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause the wood in the piano to expand or contract, throwing off its tuning.
The piano's construction can also affect its tuning stability, specifically, the tension of the strings and the way they're attached to the piano's frame. Over time, this tension can change, causing the piano to go out of tune. The hammers that strike the strings can also become misaligned, impacting the piano's sound and tuning.
Why is my piano making unusual noises?
If you recently had it tuned, it may just be that the strings are settling into their new pitches. However, if the noise persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, there could be an issue with one of the piano's parts or mechanisms. Some common causes of unusual piano noises include:
- Damaged or loose strings
- Sticking keys
- Broken hammers
- Problems with the soundboard
How often does a piano need to be tuned?
Pianos typically need to be tuned at least once a year and more often if they are played frequently. If a piano has not been tuned in a long time, it may need to be tuned more than once to get it back into proper pitch.
What is the process of tuning a piano?
The tuning process for a piano is a delicate one. Each string on the piano must be tuned to within a very tight range; otherwise, the piano will sound out of tune.
The process begins with tuning the A string, which is then used as a reference point for all the other strings.
The tuner will use an electronic tuning device to help them find the correct pitch for each string. Once all the strings have been tuned, the piano will be in tune and ready to play.
