Humidity in Your Piano

I’ve been to quite a few different towns recently, and had to do a bit of pitch-correction on some of them.

We usually tune pianos to standard pitch, “A440”.

But if the piano is flat or sharp, we first need to do a pitch-raise or pitch-lowering, and afterwards a fine-tuning.

   With all the rain lately, the wood of the soundboard and bridges on the soundboard, where the strings cross over, swells, making them to stretch, and therefore, raising the pitch.

In fact, the term “piano finish” has traditionally been used to describe the highest standards in wood finishing.
