Piano Pitch Correction Brisbane
When a piano has gone a long time without tuning, its overall pitch can drift too far for a normal fine tuning to remain stable. Pitch correction uses a controlled first pass to move the instrument closer to standard pitch before it is tuned accurately.

About the service
Why one fine-tuning pass may not be enough
Changing the tension of many strings alters the load across the piano. If a very flat instrument is tuned note by note in a single fine pass, earlier notes can move again as the remaining strings are adjusted. A separate correction pass compensates for this movement and creates a more stable foundation.
The amount of correction depends on the piano’s condition, age and pitch. The appropriate approach is confirmed during the visit; you do not need to diagnose it yourself.
Common questions
Useful answers
before you book.
Is pitch correction the same as tuning?+
No. Pitch correction is the preparatory pass; a fine tuning follows to refine the musical intervals and unisons.
Will every overdue piano need pitch correction?+
Not always. The decision is based on the measured pitch and likely stability of the instrument.
Can an old piano be brought to concert pitch?+
Often it can, but the condition of strings, tuning pins and structure must be considered first. A practical recommendation will be provided after assessment.
