Can a piano be perfectly in tune?

Technically pianos aren't perfectly in tune; if they were they would sound rather dull. Instead, pianos are almost always tuned to equal temperament. Generally the higher the octave, the more sharp it gets.

There are piano tuners and then there are piano technicians, also known as piano doctors or piano surgeons. Anyone can tune a piano with today's technology, and virtually anyone can advertise themselves as a piano tuner. Neither piano tuners nor piano technicians go to four year universities to get their training like most other professions.

So, what exactly is the difference between a piano tuner and a piano technician and who do you want working on your piano?

A piano has over 3000 parts. Tuning the piano is rather minor when you consider this. A piano tuner does one thing, tunes the piano. Most people who fall into this category will generally use electronic devices to let them know when the string is in tune. They may or may not have amateur knowledge on a few repairs on the piano, but it would be wise to not really let them tinker around with your piano. In fact, I could say I am a piano tuner! However, a piano technician does much more than just tunes your piano; they repair, enhance, recondition, and restore. I would never state that I am a piano technician. A great technician will be able to work on any piano, regardless of condition, and should be able to bring any piano back to life. With that being said, an honest technician will tell you if your piano isn’t worth fixing; sometimes the amount of work that is required will cost far more than the instrument itself is worth. However, if the piano has an extreme amount of sentimental value to you and you wish to have it repaired, the technician should understand and get the job done. Ultimately, these “piano doctors” are supposed to be passionate about healing sick pianos and bringing them back to a healthy life. In this article, I will discuss how to find a skilled technician, the main areas a skilled technician will often look at when working on a piano, and will provide you with some advice on how to test your piano to ensure that it is in full working order. This will provide you with some insight to whether you or not you have a good technician. After all, it is vital that pianists establish a good relationship with a passionate technician that they can trust.

How do you date an upright piano?

ledomainedupiano.fr - Date your piano - Piano estate

Thanks to the series number of your piano you can date it to within a few months. You will often find this number on the frame somewhere near the tuning pegs, sometimes on the soundboard either on the top or the reverse (behind on upright pianos, underneath on grand pianos). Some pianos have two numbers, one used during manufacture to keep track of the components in the factory and the series number which is all that interests us. For example, on an upright Pleyel the relevant number is on the right side of the piano. The number on the left side is the manufacturing number.
