\u2022 \u00a0\u00a0Pianos are designed and built to sound their best when tuned to A440 Concert pitch (A above middle C vibrating at\u00a0440 times per second).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0\u00a0This is an accepted universal standard ensuring that when instruments play together, they will all be in tune with one\u00a0another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u2022 \u00a0 Proper care and regular tuning will definitely keep the piano in tune longer. Piano strings are under a tremendous amount of tension: fluctuation in temperature and humidity will cause the strings to loosen and the quality of tone will also suffer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\u2022 \u00a0 I recommend that a piano be tuned at least once a year, to maintain its pitch.\u00a0 A minimum annual visit allows you to describe your piano as 'regularly maintained', thus enhancing its value and your return of investment. When a number of years pass between tunings, the pitch will drop, often far enough that two or more tunings will be necessary to restore the pitch. A concert piano is tuned before every performance and a recording instrument can be tuned as often as 4 times a week. I keep a record of each tuning appointment and operate a free remider scheme to the requirement of my customers.<\/p>\n
