Because Your Musical Enjoyment Matters!

What is a Piano Tuning?
Many people hear the word tune and automatically think "tune-up".  But, piano tuning is actually the specific task of adjusting the pitch (or string tension) of each of the 230+ strings within your piano so that they will correctly harmonize with one another.  Routine piano tuning is one of the most important types of piano maintenance for your piano.  In our years of experience, the majority of pianos out there will need to be tuned at least annually for them to maintain a pleasant sound.

Our piano tuners and technicians utilize time honored tools, trusted methods and guarantee their work.  We want a beautiful resonance and clarity for your piano every time you play.  Your musical enjoyment is what matters!  
Why Does My Piano Need to be Tuned as Often as every 6 months?

Pianos are under a tremendous amount of tension, about 20 tons actually.  That's Right!!

40,000lbs of tension is strung across the average piano. While fighiting all that tension and with the ever change of temperature and humidity, the piano is consistantly conspiring to drift out of tune.


The primary reason for routine piano tuning is to keep the piano sounding good to our ears! The secondary reason for regular piano tuning is to ensure the combined string tension is equalized against the soundboard, bridges and cast iron plate throughout the piano.  When the strings are set at the right tension then the piano will be in tune and under normal conditions will help your piano last for many musical years to come!


As humidity goes up in Dallas during the beginning of May, a soundboard swells, increasing its crowned shape and slightly stretching the piano’s strings to a higher pitch. During dry times, usually in midsummer and dead of winter, the soundboard flattens out, lowering tension on the strings and causing the pitch to drop (or go flat). Unfortunately, the strings don’t change pitch equally. As the soundboard and bridges 'expand and contract' with changes in weather, every piano is always going out of tune!  For this reason, pianos should be tuned at least once a year even if no one is playing it. In this way, the parts of the piano remain correctly aligned, preserving not only the beautiful tone but increasing the life of the piano by preserving the structural integrity of the instrument.

What is a Pitch Correction & Does my Piano Need it?

A pitch correction is when your piano requires multiple tunings back -to- back during a single visit to acquire proper tuning stability.

Trying to save money by putting off needed piano tuning merely postpones a nominal expense until it grows into a much larger problem and a bigger expense. The longer you wait between tuning, the more relaxed the strings become drastically decreasing the string tension on your piano. This will increase the risk of string breakage during the next tuning because the strings will require more dramatic changes in tension to bring them “up” to standard pitch.

Using time honored methods and years of experience your piano technician will tune your piano to a-440 perfect pitch every time. At A-440, the A string(s) above middle C should be stretched tight enough to vibrate 440 times per second, also known as 440 Hz. Onece the piano is at international standard pitch, other strings are then tuned using perfect octaves and matching intervals for the best harmony and the clearest sound.
Pianos are designed to bring you a lifetime of musical enjoyment. With the proper care and maintenance, your piano will continue to give you the joy that comes with making memories.
