Easy To Use Piano Tuning Tools And Tips

By Stephanie West


Pianos are very delicate musical instruments. When one gets out of key, it will be misleading to a whole band, choir or all levelers in an entertainment spot. This is why Piano Tuning must form a part of your routine maintenance. Unlike other instruments, pianos are not just tuned by tightening knobs and strings. Here are expert tips you should follow.

Identify the right tools to tune your instrument. Different instruments require dynamic tools to get them to tune. The tools used on a guitar differ from that of a saxophone and violin, among others. Each also follows a different procedure. If you adapt the wrong tools or method, you are likely to end up with poor results and continued chaotic singing. Maintain the quality of sound you produce by using the right tools.

The internet is a great source of tools you can use to tune your instrument. There are credible stores where these tools can be bought and delivered to your address. Check for recommendations made by the sellers of the brand you are using. You may also consider a referral from senior pianists or your teacher. Through their referral, you will get the perfect tools as well as a reasonable price for that.

There is a tuning lever that is used on pianos. It is sometimes referred by the names wrench, key and hammer. Levers come in different qualities that will influence the results you obtain. Professional options have such labels as craftsman, student and apprentice, among others that you will find on stores. The price of such tuners is fifty dollars.

Buy a tuner of the right size. The most common mistake is buying a pin with a tip that is too wide or too thin. When it is wide, it holds your pin below the head, causing it to feel weak. When the tip is too small, it holds high up the top, making it to feel too tight. Buy a tuner that perfectly fits your pins. This ensures that you get the right tightness. Manufacturers will recommend the perfect tuner for your situation. If in doubt, you can settle for the European model.

Invest in chromatic tuner for long term quality usage. A chromatic tuner ensures that you do not get a sharp or flat sound. These tuners are designed for different musical instruments. You must therefore ascertain that it is meant for pianos. This is a long term investment that will cost you anywhere between 500 dollars and 1000 dollars.

There are applications and software you can use to tune any musical instrument. Some are free and hosted on different musical websites. There are apps that you have to buy because of the features they offer. The price of apps is lower compared to the chromatic tuners. You have to spend three hundred dollars for the software.

Accredited stores and dealerships will help you tune any musical instruments. They are equipped with necessary tools and software to do the work. These stores also have accredited technicians to perform necessary work. Ensure that the tuner and technician involved are professional as well as accredited to guarantee quality work.
