Happy time of purchase the piano, especially if the acquisition had on the principle of 'free piano pickup', does not coincide with the moment when you're ready to play on it. Of course, you can start at once, but rather you just be disappointed: a tool should at least set up. Not only does this have to do regularly. How often? There is a common obscheusrednennaya norm – at least 2 times a year. However, she is so average that almost nothing. Some believe, and a sufficient time.
Maybe so, if you have indoor humidity all year round and about the same tool is used only on a case by case basis. With the active use of the same instrument or when it is not a very good condition will set up more often. Whenever Caterpillar listens, a sympathetic response will follow. The general principle – the piano should be able to play without distorting the ear and not beating the last hunt in children. As soon as the sound starts to float – no need to plotting to cause a tuner, not waiting for any time frame. Because all the things a child learns in school music lessons on ear training, not just wasted, and gubitsya misconfiguration, which is gradual habituation. Especially it concerns the case when the piano tuned a semitone lower than normal. A very common case in the apartments, among other things.
He is due to the construction of a piano and seasonal changes humidity due to the heating season. As a result, regular drying winter air piano becomes unable to keep order – pegs on which the strings do not hold and unwind, easing the tension strings and lowering the setting. That the overall system held, it is lowered a semitone. This greatly reduces the load on the tool – the total string tension to decrease by a ton or two. It seems to be okay. But hearing it does not improve. A after some time restoring order is possible only after the repair. Or in general no longer possible for a long time. Search for best tuner, of course, on the recommendation. True, this is not always possible. And if recommending that he not too versed in the issue, it can only insure against mistakes. In any case, before the adjuster will begin work, be sure to ask him – a preliminary assessment of the tool, it will do in the first place – and continue to be guided by common sense and their financial capacity: The amount of work can vary greatly. The fact that the very setting only topped a list of works on a running tool which can be quite voluminous. As for the tuner – more attention to his experience than on any certificates and diplomas.
