The importance of maintenance
Pianos need be be properly maintained in order to function at their best. Typically, pianos need to be tuned two to four times each year to stay sounding their best. This number depends on the environment of the piano and how much it is played.
Regular tuning will provide more stability in the sound of your piano and increase its value.

Fine Tuning
Every piano deserves the love and care that a piano technician can provide for your instrument. Your piano was built to perform at its best at standard pitch (A440). While a piano has 88 notes, the average piano has 230 strings! Each of those strings must be tuned to work together as a whole to allow your instrument to sing.
Light Cleaning
A light cleaning includes dusting of the piano cabinet, cleaning/ dusting the tops of the strings and dampers, and cleaning the action without removing it from the piano, as well as cleaning the keytops.
Minor Repairs
Many repairs can be made during the piano tuning process, with no additional service call (sticking keys, squeaky pedals, etc.) Be sure to inquire with any issues you may be having with your instrument.
Regulation of Pedals
Pedals become lose and not as responsive overtime. This can affect your playing experience and sometimes even cause issues with ringing notes. Keeping your pedals in good regulation will aid in your ability to add expression to your performance.
