A professional pitch raise piano tuning corrects a piano’s pitch after being left alone for a while.
What a tuning includes:
Pitch stabilization: The tuner sets the overall pitch (commonly A = 440 Hz, or another agreed reference) and brings all twelve notes into correct relation so the piano is in tune across the keyboard.
Temperament work: The tuner establishes a temperament — precise tuning relationships in a central register — then stretches octaves and aligns intervals so the whole instrument sounds harmonically consistent.
Action and regulation inspection: While primarily a tuning, the visit includes checking key action, pedals, and basic regulation issues that affect touch and repeatability; minor adjustments are often made to optimize performance.
Structural review: The tuner assesses pinblock, strings, soundboard, bridges, and hardware for signs of wear or damage and reports any concerns or recommended repairs.
Pitch raise: The tuner performs additional checks and passes to ensure tuning stability.
Typical timing and frequency
A professional tuning usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
A pitch raise is normally only necessary when multiple years have passed since the last tuning. Necessity determined at appointment.
