Piano tuner London

It is incredibly important to tune your piano. This is for multiple reasons. Though most may think that the most significant reason for ensuring a piano is tuned is sound – there are other equally, if not more, important reasons for tuning. First, it is helpful to recognise how a piano becomes out-of-tune. At a basic level, pianos become out-of-tune due to the movement of the strings involved in playing the instrument. This movement of the strings, in turn, creates an uneven tension across the piano frame. This is problematic for playing as it means that the piano is no longer in tune.

But does an out-of-tune piano really cause problems? The answer is yes! There are multiple layers of issues which arise from this. Firstly, piano tuning is a major aspect of piano ownership and maintenance. This is because, for the longevity of the instrument, it is important to not allow the strings to stretch too far, as this can lead to damage to the piano. Therefore, it is important to protect your instrument to preserve the value of the instrument. Moreover, sound-wise it is a no-brainer that an out-of-tune piano is not the most pleasing to our ears. Tuning allows for the string tension to be equalised against the piano frame and soundboard – keeping a regular sound to be produced.

Even more seriously, an out-of-tune piano may stunt your ability to develop your aural skills. This is because playing an out-of-tune piano for a sustained period may act against attempts to try to reach the aim of identifying pitches, intervals, melodies, and so forth. Therefore, playing an off-pitch piano is not advisable! Little and Lampert Pianos have excellent provisions for London piano tuning.
