Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When can you tune my piano?
A: I offer convenient scheduling options including day, evening and weekend appointments. If you need an emergency tuning please call and I will do my best to accommodate you.
Q: How often? / 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 goes sharp when it is humid and flat when it is dry. The
tuning pins are affected with each humidity variation and after about
six months your piano is noticeably out of tune.
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
are accepted?
A: Check or cash.
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.
