Did You Know?

Your piano begins to drift from correct pitch soon after you've had it tuned. Shifts in ambient humidity and typical use are the main causes. Between two and four regular tunings per year are normal if a pleasant sounding piano is your goal. Artist Piano Care will install special in-piano humidity control systems to keep your piano at pitch much longer.
