How often should a piano be tuned in coastal South Carolina?

In the Lowcountry’s humidity and seasonal HVAC changes, most pianos benefit from tuning every 6 months. Some stable home environments do well annually, while pianos near the coast, in churches, or used heavily may need more frequent service.

What’s the difference between a piano tuner and a piano technician?

Tuning corrects pitch. A piano technician can also diagnose and improve touch and tone through regulation, voicing, and targeted repairs—especially when a piano feels uneven or sounds harsh or dull.

Can tuning fix uneven touch or sticky keys?

Tuning addresses pitch, not key feel. Uneven touch, sluggish keys, or inconsistent dynamics are usually regulation or repair issues. During service, you’ll be told what’s causing the problem and what options make sense.

Do I need humidity control for my piano in the Lowcountry?

Humidity swings are a major cause of tuning instability and action changes in coastal South Carolina. Many pianos benefit from consistent room humidity and, in some cases, an internal humidity control system such as a Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver.
