A doctor would recommend a check-up once a year. Cars have maintenance schedules.
Pianos are no different. In fact, manufacturers recommend having yours tuned at least once a year. It’s true! Pianos will go out of tune gradually, so gradually, in fact, that it may be unnoticeable to some, but for your piano to be at it’s “healthiest,” it should be in tune.
Beyond the basics, your piano is a complex instrument. Seriously, it has thousands of parts. But all that complexity is what makes those awesomely rich, organic sound. Every pin, every string of your piano will be inspected and tested thoroughly to ensure it sounds exactly like it did the very first day it was made. And we won’t consider the job done until it exceeds our nearly impossible standards. As part of every tuning, your Jackson Piano technician will also inspect other working parts to catch preventable problems that could lead to costly repairs. Just a little thing we do.
What does it take to be a JP tuner? Each of our tuners complete 200 in-shop tunings before they head into the field; it would typically take an independent tuner three to five years to amass this number of tunings that JP requires our tuners to accomplish in a one year cycle.
Beyond the basics, our tuners come from one of the few and far between true piano builders that still exist. This allows our tuners to gain rare experience and knowledge that you’ll only the most well-rounded, seasoned professionals, straight from the beginning! Our tuners learn about piano cleaning, string installation, regulation, inspections, rebuilding, moves, and every nitty-gritty detail in between.
