Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can my kids watch you work?
A: Absolutely, i have young kids at home and i don't mind at all. The novelty usually wears off.
Q: Are you ok with dogs and or cats?
A: Yes, i have a dog and like cats. A barking dog will make the tuning more difficult but i understand they need to say hello and get introduced.
Q: Why does my piano go out of tune?
A: Seasonal humidity variations cause a piano's soundboard to expand and contract which directly changes the pressure on the piano's bridge, strings and tuning pins. The result is string tension and your piano's pitch increases when it is humid and decreases when it is dry. The best way to keep your piano in tune year round and protect your investment is to have a humidity control system installed in your piano. Torger is a Certified Installer of the Dampp Chaser Humidity control system. read more here
