Tuning – Pitch Raise/Lower

Piano tuning is performed normally with the aid of the Reyburn Cybertuner. Aural tuning is also done when deemed appropriate.

Piano tuning services offered are defined as:

• Basic Tuning
• Pitch Raise
• Pitch Lower
• Concert Tuning (also known as Full Service Tuning)

Key Benefits

• Tuning on a regular basis helps the piano to stay "educated" to stay at the correct pitch level (actual sound of notes based on the "standard temperament").
• Regular service allows the trained tuner/technician to be aware of the piano's physical condition. This also permits the inspection of the piano for potential problems, with solutions offered, and potential costs detailed.
• Correct tuning procedures also aids in the development of the young piano student. As a student learns to play piano, he/she will become accustomed to the sound of his/her piano. If the piano is out of tune on a regular basis, confusion will happen when a student plays a composition on another piano that IS correctly tuned. If this happens, there are known instances where the music gets confused, and then becomes more difficult to learn, because the aural portion is equally important as the written portion.

  RGPT is able to tune in a quick and accurate fashion. Tuning procedures are normally in the Long Island metro area. On occasion, tunings are performed outside of the Long Island area by special arrangement. We recommend a minimum 2 weeks' notice to schedule the necessary time allotment for travel and requirements of the customer.

• Automatic Schedule

  
  RGPT will keep all customers on a schedule agreed to with the customer. All contact to customer reminders of scheduled tunings will be done either by telephone, fax, e-mail or snail mail. Of course, if tuning service is required earlier than expected schedule, accommodations may usually be made without difficulty.
