Piano care for Corning’s climate: hot, dry summers and damp winters
Central Valley summers are long and dry, and air conditioning pulls even more moisture out of the air. In winter the air turns cool and damp. A piano's soundboard swells and shrinks with every swing, which is why pianos here drift flat in summer and sharp in winter. Keeping the piano away from vents and windows, and tuning before and after the hottest months, keeps it stable.

Piano Tuning in Corning: Questions
How often should a piano be tuned in Corning?
For most pianos in Corning: twice a year — once after summer and once in spring. The local climate — hot, dry summers and damp winters — is what moves a piano out of tune here, so timing visits around the seasons keeps it sounding its best for longer.
Do you come to Corning?
Yes. The North State is home ground — I'm based in Redding and work across Shasta, Tehama, Butte, Glenn, Trinity, Siskiyou and Lassen counties.
What happens during a visit?
I check the piano's condition, tune it to standard pitch (with a pitch raise first if it has drifted a long way), and make small adjustments to the action if keys feel uneven or sticky. You'll get honest advice on anything that needs more work.
How do I book?
Message me on Facebook with your address in Corning, the type of piano you have, and a few times that suit you. I'll reply to confirm.
