Piano Tuning

Why Pianos Go out of Tune?

There are many factors that can affect the tuning of your piano. Changes in the atmosphere can affect the tension of the strings, humidity makes the piano go sharp and dryness makes the piano go flat. These processes can be happening simultaneously in your piano, resulting in an uneven pitch. One of the most common questions we get about piano tuning is :"Why has the bass on my piano gone out of tune?". What usually happens is that the pitch remains more stable in the bass section because of heavier strings. The centre of the piano changes more dramatically, where the strings cross the middle of the soundboard. This unevenness is perceived as the bass being "out of tune".
