Frequently Asked Questions
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 the piano's bridge, strings and tuning pins. The result is string tension and your piano's pitch increases when it is humid and decreases when it is dry. The best way to keep your piano in tune and protect your investment is to have a humidity control system installed in your piano.
Q: How much does a tuning cost?
A: My rates are highly competitive. Please contact me for an estimate.

A: Cash or check.
