Piano Tuning is important especially for Pianists in Malaysia. The reason behind this is because of the humidity. This causes the Piano to go out of tune easily. The piano has about 220 strings. Each string is tuned to a different pitch and frequency which must be tuned to match the other strings on the piano.

The quality of sound your piano produces is largely influenced by the condition of its strings. Therefore, it’s critical to keep them in top shape. As time passes, the strings can elongate due to the continuous tension placed on them, causing your piano to become improperly tuned.

Pianos are easier to tune to the correct pitch, stay in better condition longer, and maintain their play-ability more easily when they are tuned on a regular basis.

Regular tuning can also prevent damage that is bound to occur when somebody plays overstretched strings. If a piano hasn’t been tuned for an extended period, it will cost more money and time  to get the piano back into tune again.

For these piano, a piano tuner have to try to bring the piano back in tune by raising the pitch of the piano slightly higher than normal. This will involves pulling all the strings tighter, which makes the pitch sharper. This overcompensation is to offset the rate at which the piano string stretches itself over time. Hopefully this will cause the piano to be in tune longer when the strings naturally stretch over time. By raising the pitch on your piano, the piano will maintain its pitch and also stay in tune longer.

To ensure the strings on your piano keep its elasticity  as long as possible, you should have the piano checked and tuned at least every six months to a year. If the strings deteriorate too much from lack of maintenance , or if the strings are out of tune for too long a period and not been actively played, then the piano may have to be restrung with new string. The cost would be exorbitant which can sometimes cost as much as buying a new piano. In order to avoid this from happening we must make sure to keep the piano played and serviced regularly.
