"Regular Tuning vs. Pitch Raise Tuning: Which one do I need?"
Some of my clients ask about the difference between regular tuning and pitch raise tuning, so let’s break it down.
Your piano has 220 strings. When you tune your piano regularly, like once a year, some of the strings get a little loose, but others stay pretty stable. The technician will only adjust the loose strings, leaving the ones that are still holding their tension. This keeps your piano sounding great and tuned until next year. This is called regular tuning or standard tuning, and it usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how your piano is doing.
But if you haven’t tuned your piano for a long time — like, more than three years — all 220 strings have probably loosened up a lot. In this case, the technician has to first tighten all the strings before they can make any fine adjustments. This is a more complicated process. The strings also need to be lubricated to lower the risk of snapping when they’re tightened, since they’ll be under much more tension. This process is called pitch raise tuning, and it’s what most pianos need if they haven’t been tuned in a while. Without this step, the piano won’t stay in tune after the adjustment.
Pitch raise tuning takes longer — usually about 1 hour or more.
