Tuning A 100 Year Old Steinway
Concert Grand in Boulder - (see

Tuning a
Steinway)
Piano Checklist - How the history
and condition of your instrument affects
my piano service service approach-
Most people DON'T KNOW that you
can find out who the original owner
of your Steinway was and other early
history of your instrument by
calling Steinway factory in Long
Island, New York. - 1800 3661853,
Ext. 3205 and ask for Samantha.
- Are you a new customer or have I
tuned your instrument before? If I
previously tuned your piano, I
already have an idea of what I am
facing and I spend a little less
time determining my piano service
approach. If I haven't tuned your
piano before, I need to take a
little more time in evaluating your
instrument prior to tuning it.
Here are some questions that I get
answers to immediately:
- How did the piano hold it's tune
since I last tuned it?
- Did it drop in pitch.
- Did it go sharp?
- If sharp or flat, does it go out
of tune uniformly?
- How does the action look and
feel?
- Do all the keys work?
- Do keys feel and respond in a
uniform manner when depressed?
- Is there significant hammer
wear?
- How is the tone? Too bright, or
dull?
- Is there a range of tones
available when played hard or
lightly?
- Who is playing the piano?
Serious musician frequent use or
beginner or intermediate who plays
more casually a few times a week?
- What is the condition of the
cabinet and the pedal lyra (for a
grand piano?) Are pedals working
properly.
- Is the piano filthy with lots of
debris inside of it?
- If the piano is significantly
out of pitch, is the owner/player
aware of that?
- If tuning pins are loose or
marginal and it is from out of
state, might your piano need some
kind of humidity control?
