So why has your piano received little or no piano service?

Baldwin Piano Company

(also Chickering, Wurlitzer) Professional service is the key. In the first year, the National Piano Manufacturers Association recommends that you have your piano tuned four times. This is a period of environmental adjustment for a new instrument, and proper attention is important.

After the first year, the piano should be tuned at least twice each year, depending upon the frequency of use and atmospheric conditions. Contact the Piano Technicians Guild for a list of qualified technicians to perform this service.

Kawai Piano Company

Quality pianos demand quality care. Fine pianos require regular maintenance in three areas: tuning, action regulation and voicing. Tuning is usually required more often than the other service areas, but all three should be a part of any fine piano's maintenance.

Due to string stretching, settling, and the effects of climate, a new piano should receive at least four tunings in the first year. After that, the type of use and the location of the piano will dictate the number of tunings required, but Kawai recommends two tunings per year as a minimum. From The Piano Tuners Guild

Tuning considerably affects the sound of pianos and grand pianos, and should be implemented at regular intervals. Tuning is also highly advisable at the beginning or end of the warm season. A tuning usually takes 1.5 hours, and includes cleaning the key surfaces as well as additional minor tasks. On our "Service Plan" page, we recommend a service schedule based on different styles of playing.

Should a perfectly tuned piano still exhibit a deficiency in tone, the finer settings in the mechanism or the firmness of the hammers may have changed. In this case, further maintenance work is necessary: Steinway and Sons Service Dept.

In six months it will by my 40th anniversary as a piano tuner/technician. I can't believe it's been that long! I've met some great performers and families, and made some life long friends. Hope it continues for another 40 years.

Anyone know of any great web sites for music? Or any new compostions? Since it's my feeling that the traditional brick and morter store is extinct. Where are we finding music?
