Why Regular Piano Tuning Matters – Keep Your Piano Sounding Its Best

The Importance of Regular Piano Tuning

Even the finest piano can lose its brilliance over time. Shifts in temperature, humidity, and string tension cause gradual detuning, dulling your piano’s tone and responsiveness. Regular tuning isn’t just maintenance — it’s preservation.

At STRAND Piano Repairs & Tuning, we recommend tuning your piano at least once a year, or ideally every six months for consistent performance. Regular maintenance helps maintain pitch stability, protects internal components, and ensures your instrument always sounds its best.

How Often Should You Tune Your Piano?

• Once a year: For light or occasional use in stable environments.

• Twice a year: For pianos used regularly or in homes with seasonal humidity changes.

• Every 3–4 months: For institutions, churches, or performance venues with frequent use.

Frequent tuning keeps string tension balanced and prevents long-term strain on the pinblock and soundboard — saving you from costly repairs later.
