  • Manual Pitch to Drop
    PITCH RAISING Your piano, just like every piano, is designed to sound its best when tuned to A-440 (the A above middle C vibrates at 440 cycles per second), the international pitch standard. It has been designed to perform at a specific tension, and when strings stretch beyond, or drop below this tension, pitch adjustments are required to bring it back to A-440. It’s important to remember that maintaining your piano at standard pitch allows you to play along with other instruments which are all designed to this same standard. Through neglect, pianos may deviate from this standard, making them unsuitable to play with other instruments and causing them to lose market value. In addition, lower pitched instruments can compromise the pianist’s ear training. It’s important to note that pianos do not go flat or sharp uniformly. Some strings will invariably change more than others. If I Haven’t Had My Piano Tuned Regularly, MANUAL How Can I Get it Back in Good Playing Condition? After years of regular use, your piano may have fallen silent when the family member who studied moved away from home. Though your home is no longer filled with music, it’s important to remember your piano is still a living, breathing thing. Its wood continues to expand and contract with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, and the string tension also fluctuates accordingly. If your piano has gone without tuning for an extended period, its pitch may have dropped far below the pitch at which it was designed to perform.

  • Routine Maintenance for Your Spinet Piano
    The Owner's Guide to Piano Repair Focus On: Routine Maintenance for Your Spinet Piano Information provided courtesy of: Harding Piano Service (Claude M. Harding) Registered Piano Technician - Piano Technicians Guild 10 Taylor Lane Dayton, TX 77535 Phone: (936) 258-2752 Email: [email protected] As the owner of a spinet piano you have the advantage of playing on an authentic acoustic piano which is conveniently sized–approximately the same dimensions as a digital piano . A spinet is often a good option for the home owner or apartment dweller who doesn't have an abundance of space, but who wants a real piano to play. With proper maintenance, a good quality spinet piano can be a reliable instrument that provides years of musical enjoyment. Sitting down to play on a freshly tuned spinet can be a pleasant experience for beginners and more advanced pianists alike! The following information is intended to enable you to better understand the proper maintenance required to keep your spinet piano in top form. Tuning: As with any acoustic piano, following a regular tuning schedule is es- sential for a spinet piano to perform up to its potential . All pianos go out of tune over time because of a variety of factors such as seasonal swings in humidity lev- els. An important key to your spinet piano sounding its best is to keep it in proper tune by having it professionally serviced on a regular basis. An adequate tuning schedule for a piano being used frequently is a once-a-year tuning, usually sched- uled for approximately the same time of year each year.
