By Stephanie West


Pianos are very delicate musical instruments. When one gets out of key, it will be misleading to a whole band, choir or all levelers in an entertainment spot. This is why Piano Tuning must form a part of your routine maintenance. Unlike other instruments, pianos are not just tuned by tightening knobs and strings. Here are expert tips you should follow.

Determine the tools you are going to use to tune the instrument. Each instrument is unique and requires very specific attention. For instance, a violin will require a different tuner from saxophone or guitar. The procedure used will also differ on the instrument in question. Ensure that you are using the right tools in order to get the best results.

The internet has different solutions whenever you want to tune your piano. There is information shared by manufacturers and expert pianists on how to tune pianos. You will need to search for a credible source of information. Tips by pianists will also help you identify the right tool and procedure to use. Through the guidance of manufacturers or pianists with experience, you will get your instrument in tune. Avoid information that cannot be verified because it might turn out to be unverified. Such mislead information could even damage the instrument.

There is a tuning lever that is used on pianos. It is sometimes referred by the names wrench, key and hammer. Levers come in different qualities that will influence the results you obtain. Professional options have such labels as craftsman, student and apprentice, among others that you will find on stores. The price of such tuners is fifty dollars.

Buy a tuner of the right size. The most common mistake is buying a pin with a tip that is too wide or too thin. When it is wide, it holds your pin below the head, causing it to feel weak. When the tip is too small, it holds high up the top, making it to feel too tight. Buy a tuner that perfectly fits your pins. This ensures that you get the right tightness. Manufacturers will recommend the perfect tuner for your situation. If in doubt, you can settle for the European model.

A chromatic tuner will help you to tune any instrument. With a chromatic tuner, your pitch will not be too flat or too sharp. This is an investment you have to make. The tuner must be indicated for pianos. Guitars have different tuners. Using the wrong tuner means that you will get the wrong tone. Since this is a long term investment, you might have to spend between 500 and 1000 dollars.

With a limited budget, you can use a software. There are numerous companies producing software for this purpose. The price is not too high compared to chromatic tuners. While you spend 500-1000 for a chromatic tuner, you will need just 300 dollars for the software. This will enable you obtain excellent results with your instrument.

Carry your instrument to a dealership or accredited store. Such stores and accredited dealers will always have the right equipment and software. You also have trained technicians who can handle the work. Using accredited dealers and technicians is a guarantee for quality service. It also helps you to maintain the warranty on an instrument.
