Because when the air dries out, your piano starts speaking a different language.

Winter Is Tough on Pianos—But You Don’t Have to Be

Last January in Bountiful, a family called us after noticing their piano had gone from “warm and rich” to “thin and brittle.” The top notes were harsh, and the sustain pedal didn’t seem to hold like it used to. Turns out, the furnace had been running nonstop for weeks, and the humidity in their home had dropped below 20%.

This happens all the time in Utah. That’s why we offer specialized winter piano tuning services across Salt Lake City and surrounding areas—so your piano stays playable, stable, and beautiful, even when the weather isn’t.

Why Winter Piano Tuning Is Different

Pianos are made of wood, felt, and steel—all of which react dramatically to cold, dry air. In Utah’s winter months, you might notice:

Flat or dull pitch (especially in upper and bass registers)
Sticky or sluggish keys
Buzzing, rattling, or loose action parts
Soundboard shrinkage and tuning pin slippage
Loss of sustain or uneven pedal response

Even a well-maintained piano can drift out of tune more quickly in winter due to the rapid drop in humidity and temperature fluctuations inside your home.

What Our Winter Piano Tuning Includes

Every winter appointment is tailored to your piano's current condition and seasonal wear. Our service includes:

Full tuning to A440 standard pitch
Fine tuning across all octaves
Inspection for seasonal damage (soundboard cracks, pin slippage)
Light action lubrication or pedal adjustment (if needed)
Humidity control tips and product recommendations
Honest advice about regulation, voicing, or future care

We’re not just tuning—we’re helping your piano survive winter in Utah.
