Piano Tuning

When it comes to maintaining your piano, experience is crucial.

An inexperienced tuner/technician can cause costly damage to your piano by making incorrect adjustments and bad decisions about your piano.

Key Piano Service offers expert tuning and consultation on all the pianos we service. With over 37 years of tuning pianos, Steve Oliver has the experience necessary to troubleshoot and repair most any problem.

Our tunings consist of:

• A visual and mechanical inspection to ensure all keys and components are working properly.
  
  
• A visual inspection of the sound board and bridges to make sure they are intact.
  
  
• A pitch evaluation to see how far the piano has gone out of tune. We will advise our clients if more than one tuning will be necessary to bring the piano to proper A440 pitch.
  
  
• All tuning work performed aurally (by ear). Aural tunings, as compared to machine-based tunings, provide a more authentic and accurate results.

Appointments are available during regular business hours. Night and weekend appointments are available upon request. Please call ahead to schedule a time that works best for you.

Did you know...?
Pianos go out of tune even when they are not being played. Because the wood swells and contracts with varying humidity conditions from season to season, the strings naturally stretch and change pitch.

Much like a drawer or door that can stick in the warmer weather, the wood in a piano changes with the varying heating and humidity conditions. We can recommend and install climate control systems which are designed to regulate the conditions within the piano.
