Why do you need to tune your piano?
Whether it is brand new, a family heirloom, or a starter piano for your
child, your piano is an investment that you need to protect with regular
service. Pianos are greatly affected by changes in humidity, regular
tunings will keep your piano sounding and playing its best! Besides, my
two daughters take lessons and I want them to hear the correct notes as
they play!

What I do...
Regular service includes tuning the piano to A440 Concert pitch and,
typically, some minor regulating (adjustments) is needed periodically to
keep pianos in top condition.
Tuning - The number of times a piano needs to be tuned depends on
changes in humidity, use, and the quality of the instrument. Most people
have their pianos tuned every six months, if you are a musician, you
probably want to tune your piano more often.
Regulating - Minor adjustments to the insides of your piano (the action)
are needed over time as the wood, felt and other components in your
piano shrink and swell with changes in humidity.
Piano Life Saver System - Your piano is greatly affected by the
humidity here in New England. What can you do to protect your piano,
short of running your air conditioning from April to November? Ask me
about Dampp Chaser Humidity Control Systems!

PLAY ME - I'M YOUR'S
Touring internationally since 2008, ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram
Street pianos are appearing in cities across the world. Located in parks, bus shelters and train stations, outside galleries, markets, and on bridges and
ferries. The pianos are for anyone to play and enjoy, at this time there are 133 pianos.
Who plays them and how long they remain is up to each community. Each piano acts as sculptural, musical, blank canvas that becomes a reflection
of the community in which it is located. Many pianos are personalized and decorated.
Questioning the ownership and rules of public space ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ is a provocation, inviting the public to engage with, activate and take
ownership of their urban environment.
Later this year, ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ will be presented in: New York City, London, Belfast, Pécs, Burnley and Blackburn, Cincinnati, San Jose.

SPRING CLEANING!
Yes, it's that time for cleaning windows, decks, and just sprucing things up. Don't
forget your piano needs some spring cleaning also! If you have a Humidity
Control System, spring is the perfect time to have your system checked and pads
changed. It's an easy but important step in keeping your piano in its best
working order.
Don't have a Humidity Control System, check here to learn more.
I am always happy to talk piano, call or email me with any questions.
