For pianos that get played often, twice-a-year tuning keeps everything sharp—without the surprises.
Why Tune Twice a Year?
We have a client in Park City—Susan, a piano teacher with over 30 students—who books us twice a year without fail: once in the spring, and once in the fall. “I can always feel the shift after the heat kicks on,” she told us. And she’s right.
Here in Utah, seasonal changes wreak havoc on pianos. Dry winters, humid summers, and everything in between cause expansion and contraction in the soundboard and strings. That’s why we offer a biannual piano tuning service—to keep your instrument stable, consistent, and ready to perform year-round.
What Is Biannual Piano Tuning?
Biannual tuning means we tune your piano every six months, usually timed around Utah’s major climate swings (late spring and early fall). This keeps your piano’s pitch stable, prevents large tension shifts, and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.
It’s especially important for:
-
Teachers and performers
-
Students preparing for competitions
-
Church pianos or school instruments in regular use
-
Musicians with a finely trained ear
-
Anyone living in areas with wide humidity and temperature swings
What’s Included
Every biannual tuning visit includes:
-
Full check of pitch and tuning stability
-
Fine tuning to A440 (concert pitch)
-
Minor adjustments from seasonal drift
-
Inspection of action, pedals, and key condition
-
Friendly reminders when your next tuning is due
We’ll also keep track of your tuning history, so you always know when you’re due—and what your piano’s long-term trends are.
Who It’s For
You should consider biannual tuning if:
-
Your piano is played frequently (more than 3x/week)
-
You notice it going out of tune between annual visits
-
You host recitals, teach lessons, or record music
-
You’ve invested in a high-quality grand or upright

You live in a home with fluctuating humidity or radiant heating
