FAQS
Your Piano & Guitar Service Questions, Answered
How often should a piano be tuned?
Most pianos benefit from tuning at least once per year. Instruments used daily for lessons or performance often require service every six months to maintain stable pitch and proper touch response.
What is the difference between tuning and repair?
Tuning adjusts string tension to restore proper pitch. Repair addresses mechanical issues such as sticking keys, pedal problems, regulation, and tonal voicing that affect performance.
Do you tune using electronic devices?
No. All piano tuning is performed aurally. Tuning by ear allows adjustments that reflect the specific tonal character and string behavior of your individual instrument.
When is a pitch-raise service required?
If a piano has fallen significantly below the A440 concert pitch standard, a pitch-raise is required to safely restore tension before final tuning can be completed.
Do you offer guitar repair as well?
Yes. The Sykesville shop handles acoustic and electric guitar repair, including setup, structural correction, and detailed restoration work.
