By Stephanie West


Pianos are delicate instruments that can easily get out of tune. This would cause chaotic singing because levelers, the choir or band will be misled. Piano tuning must therefore form part of your daily routine. It is the sensitive and professional nature of this exercise that presents a challenge to many people. Here is a guide that should give you a perfectly sounding musical instrument.

Purchase the right tools for the job. Each instrument has unique steps to be taken when you want to tune the instruments. The steps will be determined by the tool you are using. These tools should be obtained from credible stores where the authenticity and quality of tools is guaranteed. Using the wrong tool or a poor quality tool will affect the quality of sound produced.

The internet will provide a guide on how to tune your piano. In fact, there is information on how you should approach different instruments. Purchase the guide and its tools to get them delivered to your doorstep. Manufacturers and professional pianists also make recommendations on the best tools to use. Follow their guidance and you will have the best experience. They also help you get reasonable prices.

There is a tuning lever that is used on pianos. It is sometimes referred by the names wrench, key and hammer. Levers come in different qualities that will influence the results you obtain. Professional options have such labels as craftsman, student and apprentice, among others that you will find on stores. The price of such tuners is 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 is an investment you are supposed to make as a pianist. This is the tuner that will save you from a flat or sharp sound. Chromatic tuners are designed for use on different instruments. Ensure that the tuner is meant to meet your piano needs. You will need to invest around 500-1000 dollars for one.

There are applications and software you can use to tune any musical instrument. Some are free and hosted on different musical websites. There are apps that you have to buy because of the features they offer. The price of apps is lower compared to the chromatic tuners. You have to spend three hundred dollars for the software.

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.
