The Piano Tuner Method
Tuning pianos using the “Aural Method”. Also called “Tuning by Ear”. While all other piano tuners in Thailand use a digital tuning meter, Billy Alcordo tunes the piano by ear. That is to say, no tuning meter is used.
The “Aural Method” is certainly considered the best method of piano tuning. Because it is purely based on the listening skills of the piano tuner. And also on his ability to effectively tune a piano depending on the piano’s location.
How to choose your piano tuner
There are things that a piano tuner should take into consideration when tuning a piano. The location of the piano, the acoustics of the venue, and the harmonics are also to be considered. A piano tuner with good listening skills can also detect these things. Whereas, a digital piano tuning meter might not. Therefore, a good piano tuner must have good hearing and listening skills. He must also have the proper piano tuning technique. Otherwise, he might just be doing more harm than good to your piano. So, you have to choose your piano tuner well.
We hope that the information that we provided above can be useful to you. And can also help you in choosing your piano tuner. We also welcome any questions and inquiries you may have on this subject and are always ready to give you the best answers according to our experience. So please, do not hesitate to contact us.
Most popular questions were answered by our piano tuner
How much time does it take to tune a piano?
A proper piano tuning by a competent piano tuner will not take less than one and a half hours. However, it could also take up to three hours at most.
How often should I tune my piano?
To determine how often you need to tune your piano, you must first consider some variables. The condition of your piano, the workload, and the weather changes.
- We recommend tuning your piano twice a year if your piano is a “house piano” and in good condition. This is to avoid unchecked advanced wear and tear. Making sure that your piano is always in good condition and is in standard tuning all the time.
2. If your piano is a commercial piano “a piano used commercially as a hotel, or bar piano”, which is used and played every day and has a heavier workload, we recommend that you have your piano tuned and serviced every 2 – 3 months.
What to do before selling/buying a second-hand piano?
Have the piano serviced and tuned by an independent professional piano tuner before selling/buying a second-hand piano so you can have an unbiased assessment of the actual condition of the piano. Having the piano tuned before selling/buying puts the piano in its best condition. You can then appraise the selling/buying price depending on the best condition of the used or second-hand piano.
Contact Pro Piano Tuner if you need assistance in buying a second-hand piano.
