Frequently Asked Questions
Pianos should be tuned one to two times per year because of the sharp fluctuation in humidity in New England.
- In the winter the wood contracts because of the dryness and the piano goes flat.
- In the summer the opposite happens: the wood swells and tightens with humidity and the piano goes sharp.
The ideal climate for the piano is 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 45% humidity.
