Expert Piano Tuning for Perfect Harmony
I understand that a well-tuned piano is the foundation of musical excellence. My standard A440 pitch tuning service ensures your instrument produces the rich, balanced tone it was designed to deliver, allowing you to experience the full depth and clarity of your piano's voice.
What is A440 Tuning?
A440 refers to the international standard pitch where the A above middle C vibrates at precisely 440 Hz. This standardisation ensures your piano harmonises perfectly with other instruments and recordings, creating a cohesive musical experience whether you're playing solo, accompanying others, or recording.
The Importance of Regular Tuning
Regular tuning at A440 pitch does more than maintain your piano's sound—it protects your investment. Consistent maintenance at proper pitch helps prevent string fatigue and preserves the structural integrity of your instrument. For most pianos, I recommend tuning twice per year to account for seasonal changes in humidity and temperature that naturally affect your piano's pitch stability.
