A common piano tuning question

[Doug Freeze]

My piano hasn't been tuned for about 10 years and is pretty flat, is that bad?

A piano that sits un-tuned gradually goes flatter and flatter. After a long 
period, you may have to play a C sharp to get a concert-pitch C. That piano is 
said to be a half-step flat or 100 cents flat. Often, a piano that is brought 
out of storage when a child in the family is about to begin piano lessons is 
quite a bit below pitch. It is very important to bring that piano 'up to 
pitch', rather than tune it to sound good at the pitch it is at. Young children 
seem to be very pitch oriented, and are quite aware if their own piano plays at 
a different pitch than their teacher's piano. Some children will even attempt 
to transpose their pieces up to make them sound right!

If you would like to know the year your piano was born, send me the name of the 
piano along with the serial number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible 
with your pianos birth date.
