What can I do to help keep my piano in tune?

STAYING IN TUNE

There are several things that will help maintain a stable tuning:

1. Place your piano away from outside doors. Repeated cold and/or hot blasts of air when doors are opened will cause your piano to go out of tune more quickly.
2. Keep the temperature and humidity constant. Drastic changes from hot to cold, or from dry to moist will also cause your piano to go out of tune more quickly. A special humidity control system can be installed in your piano to keep it from getting too moist or too dry. Ask your piano technician about this “Piano Lifesaver” unit.
3. Regular maintenance. Have your piano tuned at recommended intervals (at least once or twice per year) by a qualified piano technician.
