Pianos are beautiful instruments that require regular maintenance for optimal performance. It is important to keep up with piano tuning in order to enjoy a piano's full potential. To get the most out of your piano, it should be tuned at least twice per year: once in the spring and again in the fall, when temperatures and humidity vary more than during other seasons. However, if your piano is heavily used or played in an environment with significant temperature or moisture changes, then you may need to tune more often - anywhere from quarterly to multiple times a year - than piano owners in more stable climates. Whatever your piano tuning needs are, it is essential to have your piano regularly serviced by a qualified tuner who will ensure the best sound quality and accuracy of your instrument.

Tuning a piano usually takes around two to three hours, depending on the skill level of the person doing it and the age/condition of the piano. A piano needs to be tuned at least once every 12 months, by a specialist technician, in order to maintain its sound quality. During this process all of the notes must be brought back into exact alignment and harmonic balance - this is done by adjusting the strings of the piano with the tuning hammer. This can be done via ear or through an electronic device such as a piano tuner. Once complete, your piano should be sounding its best for another year!
