Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When can you tune my piano?
A: I offer convenient scheduling options including day, evening and weekend appointments.
Q: Why does my piano go
out of tune?
A: Humidity
variations cause a piano's soundboard to expand and contract which
directly changes the pressure on your piano's bridge and strings. The
result is the string tension increases when it is humid and decreases
when it is dry.
Q: How do you tune?
A: I use an electronic tuner for pitch adjustments then I set
the temperament and tune by ear.
Q: What payment forms do you accept?
A: Cash or Check.
Q:
Do you ever cancel appointments?
A: In
the event of bad weather not suitable for driving I may opt to
reschedule the appointment with as much advance notice as possible.
