Piano Tuning in Brisbane
A tuning appointment focuses on bringing the notes of your piano into a stable musical relationship. Dr Piano handles tuning enquiries across Brisbane and can discuss any other concerns you have noticed before a visit.
What a tuning visit includes
The piano is first checked for its general condition and pitch. The tuning is then adjusted across the keyboard. If you mention sticking keys, pedal problems, unusual noises or an uneven touch, those concerns can be considered separately from the tuning itself.
Upright and grand pianos
Both upright and grand pianos use strings under tension, but their actions and access differ. Include the piano type, brand if known, and when it was last tuned when you enquire. A photo can also help identify the instrument.
How often should a piano be tuned?
There is no single schedule for every instrument. Use, climate, piano condition and the owner's musical needs all matter. Regular attention can make changes easier to monitor.

When a pitch raise may be required
If the piano is well below its intended pitch, one fine-tuning pass may not be enough. A broader pitch correction may be recommended before the final tuning. The condition of the piano must be assessed before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
Can you tune a piano that has not been serviced for years?
It may be possible, but the instrument should be assessed first. A pitch raise or repair may be needed before a stable fine tuning can be completed.
Should I move the piano before the appointment?
No. Keep the piano in its normal position and make sure the technician can access it comfortably.
Can repairs be completed at the same visit?
Some faults may be handled on site, while others need further assessment or parts. Describe the problem when booking so the visit can be planned.
