As I approached a customer's home, a young person once asked me, "Are you the piano fixer?

I apprenticed for a year with a piano tuner in Peru, IL, where I grew up. Wilkins was retiring after fifty years as a teacher and tuner.

With five pianos in his home and studio there was ample opportunity to learn, refine and master the techniques and he soon sent me out to tune for customers. All musical instruments are tuned to a worldwide standard pitch so they can play together in harmony.

Try a small experiment: Hook a rubber band on something solid, pull it tight and pluck it. Pull tighter and the pitch goes up.

Pianos have over tightly stretched strings and, except for the cast iron plate that supports that tension, they are built mostly of wood. With humidity and temperature changes the wood expands or contracts which tightens or loosens the strings, changing the pitch and the piano goes out of tune. Even a piano that is never played with other instruments must have its strings in tune with each other to sound good.

This is why you will see a solo guitarist frequently tuning his guitar. The instrument must be in tune with itself and, ultimately, the rest of the world! Once a year is a must, twice a year is better. Every piano is different, but with regular attention they go out of tune less.
