Piano manufacturers recommend pianos be tuned once a year at minimum. The biggest factors that change the stability of a tuning are fluctuations in temperature and humidity throughout the year, as well as how often the instrument is played.

Having your piano serviced twice a year is recommended for intermediate to advanced players who play several times a week or more.

In contexts like in showrooms or recital halls, pianos are tuned daily– sometimes even during intermissions between performances.

Besides making sure the area is well lit, the best thing you could do is to clean off any pictures, books, or other objects that usually sit on top of the piano.

This unfortunately leads people to spending considerable money or time, moving a piano into their home that is not even worth being tuned.

There are indeed hidden gems on these online marketplaces!

If you are looking to buy a used piano, consider hiring medic NJ to find, inspect, or appraise any prospective pianos for you based on your budget.
