Learn more →Michigan seasons are hard on pianos
A piano is built from wood, felt and more than 200 steel strings under tremendous tension. Southeast Michigan swings from humid summers to dry, furnace-heated winters, and that moisture change makes the soundboard swell and shrink. The result is a piano that drifts out of tune, sometimes in just a few months.
Most piano makers recommend tuning at least once or twice a year. Regular tuning keeps the strings at proper pitch, protects the instrument from bigger repairs and makes practice far more enjoyable for students and players.
- Spring and fall tunings keep pace with seasonal humidity changes
- A pitch raise brings long-neglected pianos back to standard pitch
- Each tuning includes a check of keys, pedals and hammers
