FAQs
How often should I tune my piano? And why?
1
You should have your piano tuned at least annually. For pianos that are in frequent use or have been recently moved, twice-per-year tunings or quarterly tunings may be necessary.
Pianos are also impacted by changes in the weather. Depending on where you live, and on where your piano is placed in your home, more frequent tunings may also be necessary.
