“Time For The Tuner”

Ron Kroenke Piano Tuner
It’s time to tune when the piano loses the voice that it had when last tuned, when chords seem to beat or become harsh somehow, when the pitch level is high or low as happens due to seasonal changes. When the instrument is tuned regularly, incorrect intonation may be avoided. The piano will sound as intended at all times, due to increased tuning stability, providing that the instrument and it’s environment are reasonably sound.
A routine piano tuning and minor maintenance can be accomplished over the course of one hour.
The majority of problems experienced by piano owners can be traced to infrequent tuning or lack of proper maintenance, environmental factors and deterioration over time.
Yes! Our goal is to achieve peak performance from your piano regardless of age.
The climate in which a piano lives must be well regulated. Humidity levels affect moisture content in the soundboard having a direct effect on the bearing of bridges against strings, thus altering the tuning. Wool felt bushings and leathers shrink and swell, become loose or tighten, squeak and rattle, and produce more of less friction than is necessary. Warpage of parts and weakening occurs as moisture content fades. Sunlight bleaches lacquer finishes and windows provide an unseen degree of heat exchange.
