Piano Tuning Services
Precision tuning to restore perfect harmony and bring out the best in your instrument's sound
The Art of Piano Tuning
Proper tuning is the foundation of piano care. Over time, the 200+ strings in your piano stretch and lose tension, causing the instrument to drift from concert pitch (A440) and produce discordant sounds.
Our certified technicians use precision electronic tuning devices combined with trained musical ears to achieve accurate pitch and optimal tone. Each tuning includes inspection of the entire string system, tuning pin torque verification, and assessment of any potential issues.
We recommend tuning every 6-12 months, depending on climate conditions and how frequently the piano is played. Wisconsin's seasonal humidity changes make regular tuning especially important for maintaining stability.

Voicing & Tone Adjustment
Beyond tuning, the character of your piano's sound can be adjusted through voicing. This process involves modifying the hammer felt to achieve the tonal quality you desire—warm and mellow, bright and clear, or somewhere in between.
Voicing is particularly valuable for pianos that will be used in different musical settings, from classical recitals to jazz performances. It's also essential after a piano has been moved to a new environment.
Our voicing service includes hammer shaping, needling, and density adjustments. We work carefully to preserve the piano's inherent character while achieving your desired sound profile.
Pitch Correction Process
Why some pianos need extra attention
Pitch Raising
Pianos that have been neglected often need multiple tunings to reach proper pitch. Each session raises tension gradually to prevent stress on the frame and soundboard.
Climate Effects
Wisconsin's humidity changes cause wood to expand and contract, affecting string tension. Regular tuning counteracts these seasonal shifts.
Stabilization
New strings stretch and settle. We perform a final check after 48 hours to ensure your tuning holds stable.
