piano tuning & repair
Keeping up with your piano’s maintenance is one of the best ways to make sure it always sounds rich, warm, and enjoyable to play. Pianos are sensitive instruments, and things like temperature changes, humidity, and everyday use can slowly cause them to drift out of tune or make certain parts feel stiff or worn. Regular tunings, light cleaning, and small adjustments help catch these issues early before they turn into bigger, more expensive repairs.
Maintenance isn’t just about protecting the instrument—it also makes playing so much more satisfying. A well-kept piano responds better under your fingers, holds its tune longer, and has a clearer, more consistent tone. Whether the piano is in a busy family home, a school, or a studio, a little routine care goes a long way in keeping it sounding beautiful and lasting for years to come. It’s like giving your piano a checkup to keep it happy and healthy!

﹒FAQ﹒
-
A pitch raise is required when a piano’s pitch is lower than 20 cents (a quarter of a semitone) from standard pitch (A-440Hz). The general rule of thumb is two years or more from the piano’s last tuning.
-
Every six to twelve months.
Piano’s expand and contract with seasonal climate changes. In Toronto, we experience hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters. These temperature changes drastically change a piano’s tuning.
Keeping a piano in tune regularly also increases the longevity of the instrument, for those with a family heirloom and want to keep it in top notch shape.
-
Every piano is different, many different factors include:
time since last tuning
environment & piano condition
additional repairs or adjustments
