If you’ve not tuned in years, you might have read about “pitch raising”. This will return the strings’ tension back up to A440 just before tuning.
Pitch Raising - multiple discounted tunings returns & stabilizes the strings back to pitch after years of missed tunings (critical for beginners & young children)
Annual Cleaning - interior & exterior vacuuming/soaping provides preventative care your piano (very important step for inner workings to move correctly and help prevent corrosion)
Key & Tone Adjustments - how easily and evenly the keys play with controlled dynamics is called “regulation”.
Preparing for Your Tuning
A semi-quiet environment helps create an optimal tuning experience. You might also want to remove anything (non-piano related) from the piano as Randy will be removing parts of the cabinetry.
