WHAT IS PIANO TUNING BY EAR? Ear (aural) piano tuning (as opposed to electronic or strobe tuning) is like comparing PICASSO to PAINT BY NUMBER. Ear tuning (using a tuning hammer and my ear)allows me to use interpretation to blend harmonies and give your piano "SOUL." I can make adjustments for ceiling heigh, hardwood floors vs carpet, and what is pleasing to my ear. I am not locked into an electronic meter. The piano is an IMPERFECT instrument and should not be tuned with a "perfect" electronic tuning device.
It will sound cold, and lifeless. Tuning a piano by ear, with a qualified and experienced ear tuner like myself, is like "wringing out an orange"...bringing out all the best your piano is capable of offering to you, the piano player.

How is a piano like a car???? To maintain your car, the oil should be changed periodically. If not, your car will stop running, or run poorly. To maintain your piano, the piano should be tuned either once or twice a year. If not, the piano will play poorly...unisons will not match. The piano has wooden parts which expand and contract with changes in temperature. This expansion and contraction effects the strings and pin block, the sound board and the bridge. As your piano tuner, I not only TUNE your piano but check all of its parts to prevent a major problem from occurring. How is your piano like a car? Your car needs a good, reliable, experienced, honest mechanic. So does your piano:)
