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
