In order to pull the pitch back up to A440, the tuner must pull the pitch over A440, called “over pull” by about 20% because the strings will naturally drop back down about 20% during the tuning itself. If a piano has gone 5, 10, 20 years without tuning, the tension often drops to 50% and much more.

Pitch Raise Plus $200:Ī piano will resist an increased load of string tension that is, generally, any more than 20%. The goal is to get the string tension close to A440 and then fine tuning. The pitch raise process is simply “over pulling” the pitch of all of the strings first and then going back to fine tune and stabilize. This will vary from piano to piano, but it is a good general rule of thumb. If your instrument has not been serviced in more than a couple of years, expect that it will need a pitch raise, regardless of how often it is played. This is sometimes due to extremes in humidity, but most often it is required to bring a neglected piano back to standard pitch. A piano that is significantly flat or sharp requires a pitch correction. A pitch raise is needed to correct the pitch of the piano because of fluctuating humidity levels.
Standard pitch is A440, which means A above middle C is set at 440 hertz. A piano’s fluctuations in pitch are due to humidity changes. This is regardless of how often the piano is played. This service is for pianos that are regularly serviced and require standard fine tuning. A basic tuning takes approximately 45 minutes to an 1.5 hours.
