Piano Tuning Service in Phoenix

Alamo Piano Service offers a variety of services to Phoenix area piano owners, with an emphasis on piano tuning by ear. Tuning a piano by ear is superior to tuning by electronic or digital tuners because it takes into account not only the instrument’s mechanical qualities, but its aesthetic qualities (scale design) as well. Only when a piano is tuned skillfully by ear can it achieve ideal harmonic tuning for its own particular scale design.

Tuning pianos by ear (also called aural tuning) requires both technical and artistic skill. Every piano has a unique design; each string on each piano has its own unique harmonicity, just as every room has its own unique acoustical characteristics. Proper tuning involves listening to the piano’s harmonic dominance to determine where adjustments should be made to the tensions of a piano’s strings. While expensive electronic piano tuners can generate technically precise results, aural piano tuning produces a sound that is authentic to the individual piano and — most importantly — more satisfying to listeners.
