How often should my piano be tuned?
Most manufacturers recommend tuning your piano at least twice yearly. Semi-annual servicing of your piano is my best recommendation to insure its long life, and maintain its performance quality. As a compromise, many of my clients (and their pianos) do quite well with my minimum recommendation of once a year. Sticking with regular service, either once or twice a year, is your best insurance. Concert pianos are generally tuned, and otherwise prepared for every performance. Not all pianos behave the same way and not all environments treat your instrument with the same degree of TLC. Keeping the temperature and humidity at constant, moderate levels will help tuning stability. Use of a piano climate control system will help even out humidity levels.
