What happens if you dont tune a piano?
Letting a piano get very far out of tune isn’t good for it, but the harm is rarely irreversible. A piano adjusts to the tension of its strings (typically 38,000 pounds of pressure!). When a piano is allowed to go out of tune, string tension is reduced, and the piano settles to the new lower tension.
Does moving a piano affect tuning?
They’re built to withstand up to 20 tons of string tension and decades of heavy usage, so the physical movement of a piano usually has very little effect on its tuning or other adjustments. It’s the climate change associated with the move, rather than the actual move itself, that makes pianos go out of tune.
