Our circa 1910's grand was brought back to life. Both the quality of
the wood work restoration and the improved action helped revive a fine
instrument.

|  Tuning
Tuning is done by ear
unless otherwise requested
In
this climate area, pianos are normally tuned every six (6) months.
Pianos that have not been tuned regularly may require more than one
tuning to stabilize. Quality and condition of the piano are important
factors in determining the level of maintenance and tuning your piano
will require.
Technically speaking, the process of piano
tuning
consists of adjusting the tension of the 220 +/- wire segments by
turning tuning pins located at one end of the wire. The 'A' note above
'middle C', when adjusted to the proper tension, will produce a sound
vibrating at 440 cycles per second. All other notes are based from this
setting. On average, the whole process usually takes between one and
one and a half hours to complete.
