Untuned Piano
Piano strings have harmonics that are out of tune, referred to as inharmonicity. As part of the process of spacing all 12 notes of an octave, a piano tuner makes minor adjustments to the spacing of each note within the octave. The graph below shows the difference between the equal-tempered scale and an actual piano tuning. Each tuning is unique and intended to make your piano sound its best. Tuning is recommended every six months for home pianos. •
A piano must be tuned regularly in order to maintain concert pitch. A piano that has been moved, left untuned or has experienced a significant change in environment will be noticeably sharp or flat and require pitch adjustment. In Calgary, pianos tend to be flat in winter months and sharp in summer months. Note: The best protection against seasonal changes in pitch is a combination of regular tuning (every six months) and a Piano Life Saver System®. •
