Piano Tuning

This is the last step, and the crowning glory of the piano manufacturing and preparation process. The difference between a good tuning and a great, thrilling musical tuning is super-small in practice, and super-huge in perception---and that's why a great piano tuner is a precious treasure to serious players. 

A great piano tuning, with a highly idealized equal temperament, perfectly still unisons, and a customized, precise stretch at the bass and treble ends, creates what we call a "psycho-acoustic illusion:" the piano actually feels better, the voicing sounds better---the illusion is strong, and I've personally witnessed it hundreds of times. Clients think I've done regulation and voicing when all I've done is put a stable, musical tuning on their pianos. The reason there are one, two, or three tuners in your area that are much more expensive than all the others is because their tunings sound better---it's just that Darwinian and simple; so if you want the best for yourself, the best craft and the best inspiration, call the technician with the reputation: in 99% of cases, it's well-deserved.
