08.01.2022 Piano Tuning and Moving

04.01.2022 PIANO TUNING WHY DO I NEED TO TUNE MY PIANO? There has never been an acoustic piano made by any company, at any price, that does not require a schedule of regular tunings. It is also a fact that a piano will go out of tune whether it is played or not.... The main reason pianos go out of tune is the changes in humidity from season to season, affecting all pianos, new and old, played or unplayed. Pianos go flat in the winter months when dry heat expelled from a heater draws moisture out of the pianos soundboard. In the spring, when you turn the heat off, the air is usually more moist. The soundboard absorbs this moisture, expands and causes the piano to go sharp by the time summer comes. These seasonal changes in tuning are often most obvious in the mid-range of the piano. Fluctuations in room temperature surrounding the piano cause less of a change in tuning than humidity changes do. But, direct sunlight or direct heat from other sources can cause rapid changes in tuning. When you move, it is not so much the transportation of the piano that throws the tuning out as much as the piano acclimatising to its new room environment. It is best to wait about 2 weeks after you move before you get the piano tuned. If both humidity and temperature are controlled in the room where the piano is situated, these swings in tuning virtually disappear and the tuning (and the overall consistency of the touch response) is much more stable. New strings can cause the pitch to go flat. New music wire is quite elastic and starts to stretch as soon as it is pulled up to pitch. This is why new pianos or pianos that have been restrung need to be tuned more frequently in the first year. Each time the wire is pulled up, the amount of stretching decreases and the tuning becomes more stable. Slipping tuning pins can cause a piano to go flat. Older pianos that have been exposed to regular seasonal humidity changes over the years can have loose tuning pins and as a result, have poor tuning stability. The louder and more often you play a piano, the faster it goes out of tune by a small amount. The force of a hammer repeatedly hitting a string can affect the equalization of tension along the strings length, and cause its pitch to be slightly altered. To put the matter of tuning in perspective, remember that a concert piano is tuned before every performance, and a piano in a professional recording studio, where it is in constant use, is tuned 3 or 4 times every week as a matter of course.

03.01.2022 PIANO MOVING SHOULD I MOVE THE PIANO MYSELF? The following is an interesting quote from Larry Fine in The Piano Book.... "...Movers like to tell stories like this one: ...A young woman asked her father to help her move a piano from one place to another in her house. Her father got a couple of his friends to come along and they brought a dolly [trolley]. While they were lifting the piano - a full-size vertical -- it tipped back too far and got away from them. While it was falling, its upper corner dug down through the wall. The trench it made was deep enough to sever an electric conduit, which shorted and began to burn. The "movers" were unable to stop the fire, which also spread to the floor below, another persons apartment. After the fire department was done, there was little left of the two apartments - and the piano.... ...Obviously, this is an extreme example of the damage that can be inflicted when moving a piano in do-it-yourself fashion. Even if you dont burn down your house, there is a substantial risk of personal injury, not to mention damage to the piano. ...Pianos are very heavy. The average spinet or console weighs in at from three hundred to five hundred pounds, full-size uprights at about seven hundred, but sometimes as much a thousand. ...Grands vary from about five hundred to a thousand pounds, though a concert grand may weigh as much as thirteen hundred pounds! If it were simply a matter of weight, though, all it would take would be enough strong people to do the job. Unfortunately, along with the weight come problems of balance and inertia, knowledge of which can make all the difference in doing a moving job safely and efficiently. Piano moving may conjure up images of men with monstrous arms and huge torsos, but actually two or three people of average build can do most piano moving jobs - even grands if they have some brains, experience, the right equipment, and a knowledge of just when and where to apply a little force. ...So, the task of moving a piano is not just a matter of weight. The asymmetric shape, the fragility of the outer cabinet and inner mechanics, the uneven distribution of parts -- all this and more demands not only proper equipment, but also an understanding of the unique dynamics of balance and inertia that pianos pose. ...Attempting to move a piano by yourself may easily result in a costly trip to the doctor for both you and your piano. ...Dont take chances, hire a professional!"

02.01.2022 Tuning in Sydney this week. Contact us if you need your piano tuned!!

01.01.2022 HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TUNE MY PIANO? Keep in mind that every piano is subject to one or more factors that will make it go out of tune, including: Humidity changes... Temperature changes Stretching of strings Slipping tuning pins Heavy or excessive use How often you should tune your piano depends on its condition, the environment in which it is located, and the musical demands of the owner. A piano used mainly as a furniture piece probably wont "need" to be tuned more than once a year. A piano that is played regularly and is in good condition would be better off with 2 tunings per year. A piano given a daily workout by a professional or serious student might need to be tuned more frequently, maybe 4 times a year or more. At this level of use, its really up to the individual and at what point the tuning starts to bother them. Steinway & Sons... "...no matter how expertly a piano is tuned, atmospheric variations and the nature of the pianos construction constantly conspire to bring it off pitch" Yamaha Pianos... "...a piano should be tuned at least twice a year." Baldwin Piano Company... "After the first year a piano should be tuned at least twice each year."
