Why tune your piano?
Tuning your piano is an important part of maintaining its quality of sound. Different pianos require different tuning schedules, though most require semi-annual tuning. The wood associated with the strings of the piano expands and contracts as the moisture in the air fluctuates. Thus, a piano may begin to go out of tune during the spring or fall, when the seasons are changing and humid summer air slowly morphs into dry winter air. This is especially true in a city like Toronto, with extreme weather changes. Best Piano has professional piano tuners in Toronto ready to make your piano sound beautiful.
What happens if you do not tune your piano?
Although not tuning your piano for just a couple of years may not result in any severe consequences for your instrument, failing to have your piano tuned for extended periods of time can significantly harm your instrument. If you have not had your piano tuned in upwards of four years, it may require more than one tuning session to get the instrument entirely back in tune, resulting in unnecessary expenses. In addition to unnecessary costs, bends can manifest in the strings of your pianos over time if it is not consistently tuned. The skilled tuners at Best Piano can rectify this issue, however the additional work may come with additional costs. It is particularly crucial to tune new or recently restrung pianos as new strings tend to stretch and fall out of tune more rapidly. Generally speaking, tuning your piano at minimum once a year will save you additional costs in restoring the sound of your instrument in the future.
If my piano needs several tunings, can I simply have it tuned once for now and wait some time before tuning it again?
If your piano has fallen significantly out of tune, you likely want to invest in the additional tunings to restore its pitch completely. It is possible that one tuning will bring your instrument into tune with itself, however it will make it difficult to harmonize with other instruments. Additionally, if your piano is not sufficiently tuned it may result in a duller or less impressive sound overall. The best way to avoid the extra cost of having your piano tuned several times to have it tuned regularly by skillful tuners. Having your piano frequently tuned by the experienced professionals at Best Piano ensures that you do not incur these additional costs.
What is regulation and when do I need it?
Piano regulation is the process of adjusting the felt and leather within the action of a piano. Over extended periods of time, the leather and felt within a piano becomes worn, affecting the quality of sound of your instrument. Genera
lly, regulation is required every five to ten years. The experienced piano technicians at Best Piano can assess your instrument and inform you if it requires regulation to make it sound as it did the day it was manufactured.
