Professional Piano Tuning

Precision Tuning by Piano Technicians Who Play

A properly tuned piano does more than sound “in tune.” It responds better, holds pitch longer, and reveals the full tonal character the instrument was designed to produce. At Christopher Piano Service, piano tuning is performed by experienced piano technicians who are also piano players, giving us a deeper understanding of how a piano should sound, feel, and respond under the hands of a musician.

We tune with care, accuracy, and respect for the instrument—whether it’s a family upright, a teaching studio piano, or a concert-level grand.

Why Professional Piano Tuning Matters

Pianos are complex acoustic instruments under extreme tension—often over 40,000 pounds. Changes in humidity, temperature, and seasonal conditions cause constant pitch movement. Without regular professional tuning, even a well-built piano can lose clarity, stability, and musical balance.

A professional tuning:

    •    Restores correct pitch and harmonic balance

    •    Improves tone clarity and sustain

    •    Enhances touch response and musical control

    •    Protects the long-term health of the instrument

How Often Should a Piano Be Tuned?

Most pianos benefit from tuning once or twice per year, depending on usage and environment. New pianos, heavily played instruments, or pianos in fluctuating climates may require more frequent service.

We’re happy to advise you on a tuning schedule that best suits your piano and your space.

More Than Just Tuning

Because we are full-service piano professionals, we can also identify:

    •    Pitch stability issues

    •    Worn or uneven action components

    •    Regulation or voicing needs

    •    Environmental concerns affecting tuning

If additional service is recommended, it’s explained clearly and honestly—never pushed.
