What should I do in preparation for a tuning?

Preparing for Your Piano Tuning Appointment
To ensure the best possible results from your piano tuning, please take a few simple steps to prepare:

• Clear the top of your piano. Remove any decorations, picture frames, lamps, or other items so your technician can easily access the tuning pins and interior components.

• No need to move the piano. Most upright and grand pianos do not need to be pulled away from the wall for tuning, unless otherwise specified.
  
  

• Minimize background noise. While some ambient noise is manageable, a quiet environment allows for more precise tuning and better results.
  
  

• Comfort and lighting matter. Make sure the room is at a comfortable temperature and that there is adequate lighting near the piano.
  
  

• Report any issues. If your piano has sticking keys, buzzing sounds, pedal problems, or anything else unusual, let your technician know ahead of time so they can come prepared.
