How regular should one tune the piano?
on: August 26, 2015, 09:24:31 AM
Recently, I bought a used Kawai Piano, I wanted to ask how regular should I tune the piano?
I also wanted to know if moving the piano using its dollies will affect the tuning?

Congrats on the new piano ! Yes, moving a piano means it will need tuning, not because it was moved but because it is in a new environment. Generally, wait a couple of weeks and then tune. You may find it will need re-tuning after that at a relatively short interval so the strings start to retain memory of the needed level. This is an adjustment period to a new environment.
Most technicians will recommend tuning every six months after this stabilization period. Less infrequent creates issues of instability in the strings.

Awesome choice! My family bought a used baby grand kawai for 4K 10 years ago, it sounds GREAT now, you can see my recordings, I'm playing on that piano.
