Piano Tuning: Bringing Back the Sound
In Kempsey, where humidity and temperature shifts can play havoc with pitch, regular piano tuning keeps your instrument stable and sounding its best. Each service begins with a careful check of pitch levels and string tension, followed by fine-tuning each note by ear and with professional-grade tools. The goal isn’t just correct pitch—it’s a piano that responds evenly under your hands.
Tony considers the room, the instrument’s age and how often it’s played when tuning. That means your piano is tuned for its unique environment, not just a generic setting. It’s this thoughtful, detailed approach that sets the service apart.
Kempsey clients often comment on how much more enjoyable their pianos are to play after a visit—lighter touch, cleaner tone and better volume control. Whether you play for fun or performance, you’ll notice the difference the moment you sit down.
How do I prepare my piano for tuning?
Clear the top of the piano and make sure the space is quiet and accessible.
Avoid tuning during large weather changes or if the piano has just been moved—settling first helps tuning hold.
Also, keeping pets and children out of the room allows the tuner to work without distractions.
The piano doesn’t need to be cleaned beforehand, but a dust-free surface is always appreciated.
How long has my piano likely been out of tune?
Most pianos drift out of tune gradually, often going unnoticed until dissonance becomes obvious. If it’s been over a year since your last tuning—or if you’ve moved house or had weather extremes—it’s safe to assume your piano is out of tune.
Even if you don’t hear it, the pitch may have dropped enough to affect the instrument’s responsiveness and sound quality.
What’s a pitch raise and why might I need one?
A pitch raise is a preliminary tuning step used when a piano has dropped far below standard pitch. Instead of one fine-tuning, the strings are gradually brought up to tension in stages.
This helps the piano adjust slowly, reducing the risk of string breakage or damage. After the pitch raise, a regular tuning is done to fine-tune each note.
Can every piano be tuned?
Most pianos can, but it depends on the structural condition. If the pin block is loose, strings are rusted or the soundboard is cracked, tuning may not hold or could cause further damage.
A professional assessment helps determine if tuning is safe or if repairs are needed first. In many cases, minor issues can be corrected during the same visit.
