Easy To Use Piano Tuning Tools And Tips

By Stephanie West


Pianos will often get out of tune due to continued use. It is chaotic to sing using an instrument that has not been tuned appropriately. The choir will be singing off-key and other instruments will non synchronize the sounds. It is only through piano tuning that you get excellent sound. Here is a guide that you should follow.

Determine the tools you are going to use to tune the instrument. Each instrument is unique and requires very specific attention. For instance, a violin will require a different tuner from saxophone or guitar. The procedure used will also differ on the instrument in question. Ensure that you are using the right tools in order to get the best results.

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.

Use tuning levers in your endeavor. These levers are also referred to as key, wrench or hammers. You will find them in the market at different prices and properties. If you have no idea the lever to buy, you should look for such labels as apprentice, student and craftsman. With such a label, you will never get it wrong. Such a tuner will cost fifty dollars.

You must use the right tip size as you tune the piano. Whether the pin will be tight or loose will depend on the kind of lever you use. If the tip is too small, the pin is grabbed higher and therefore becomes tighter. If the tip is too wide, it will grab the pin lower, making it to feel loose. When you are not sure, it is advisable that you choose the standard European model.

A chromatic tuner will help you to tune any instrument. With a chromatic tuner, your pitch will not be too flat or too sharp. This is an investment you have to make. The tuner must be indicated for pianos. Guitars have different tuners. Using the wrong tuner means that you will get the wrong tone. Since this is a long term investment, you might have to spend between 500 and 1000 dollars.

Use software or tune your piano online. Software is hosted by manufacturers and some cases where you have to download an app. These options are more affordable compared to the chromatic tuner. You only spend 300 dollars for a good software compared to 500 or more for a tuner.

Take your instrument to a dealership or accredited store to be tuned. You are sure that they have all the instruments or software you could be looking for. This is also a guarantee that the accredited technicians who will be working on your machine will produce top quality work.
