The piano is one of the most complex instruments. It is built of more than 12,000 parts, of which 10,000 are moving. Most parts of piano action (the mechanism between the keyboard and the strings) are small, precise parts that need to be installed in a very small tolerance for proper operation.<\/p>\n

When a piano is out of tune, we usually say: \u00bbCall a piano tuner.\u00ab<\/strong> Piano tuning is about adjusting the tension of the strings of an acoustic piano so that the musical intervals between the strings are tuned. We need a tuning key, a tuning wedge and an electronic tuner for better results to tune the piano.<\/p>\n

However, when the piano string breaks or when the piano has a very sharp tone despite the tuning, or the piano may be very difficult to play, then more specific knowledge of the piano technician<\/strong> and special tools will be required.<\/p>\n

Many materials in piano are made to withstand heavy loads and have a long life. To achieve that we have to provide suitable conditions fort he piano and regular and proper service.<\/p>\n

All piano technicians are piano tuners, but not all piano tuners are piano technicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every piano owner knows that the instrument needs to be tuned once a year, but proper care of a piano is a bit more complicated. It requires knowledge, tools and skills that not every piano tuner has.<\/p>\n

A piano technician can do a variety of work on your piano at home – the instrument is first cleaned and inspected, if necessary the action is regulated or voicing can be done to the piano and at the end finally the piano is tuned.<\/p>\n

Piano tuning can be learned by anyone with a little “vein” and a lot of patience, and a piano technician learns and perfects his whole life.<\/h3>\n
