Piano tuning and the school year
I often do my best to accomodate school’s busy schedules. If you are a teacher or administrator at one of our fine schools do consider these few points.
Try and book your appointment at least one week in advance of the time you wish your piano to be tuned. Often times the piano needs to be tuned for an important concert or assembly. In this way we can ensure the piano is ready for such an event. I have in the past been called the day before and regretfully had to decline my services because of prior bookings.
The piano in your institution may need to be assessed for playability and viability as an instrument. Assessments are quick and painless. A piano often does not need much repairs to ensure it is playable. On the other hand for your sanity, a regulation of the working parts may be recommended. It will make the piano play infinitely better.
Another reason for an assessment may be that there are multiple pianos at the school. You may wish to pair down the number of pianos and focus more attention on one. I can decide which piano would be better suited for your situation and bring that piano to it’s fullest potential.
Look forward to seeing you and have a great school year!
