Piano Tuning, Repairs and Moving

Hi! Welcome to my tuning page. I have been tuning pianos since 1976.    The most common question I get asked is: Q. How often should I get my piano tuned? A. Pianos start the process of going out of tune the second the tuner finishes tuning them. It does not matter how often you play them. Each piano is different. Each pair of ears listening to the piano is different. The best answer is to tune your piano when you hear it needs tuning. As a rule of thumb, most piano maufacturers say you should tune your pianos at least once a year. Grand pianos usually need to be tuned more often. Once a season is better. Every time you move a piano it should be tuned.

I will also travel to outside areas such as Lindsay, Little Britain, Oakwood,  Barrie, Oshawa, Pickering, Brooklin,  Bowmanville, Courtice, Whitby, Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Guelph, Fergus, etc. provided I can get at least three tunings or more to make the trip worthwhile. If your area has no local tuner I would consider making a trip to your area. To make arrangements for me to come to your town please give me a call toll free.

Getting a new or used piano? Q. Where do I put it? A. The ideal location for a piano is an "inside" wall away from windows, floor vents and heat rads. Any of the above will affect the longevity of the tuning. Keeping the temperature and humidity constant will also help to make the tuning last. Some establishments like hotels and churches try to save money by turning down the heat or A/C when the room is not in use. I'm not saying this is wrong but it will affect the tuning of your instrument requiring re-tuning a lot sooner.      If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks,                                    Fred
