This one easy to know. Just listen carefully to the same song before & after tuning. After tuning song should sound much better. I mean the reason you're arranging for tuning in the first place is that piano tone already drifting so song sounds terrible rite?

Thks, markfch.
My piano has not out of tune yet, only 1/2 yr. This is the free tuning provided when I purchase the piano.
:lol:

Oh dear - I don't tune ONLY when my piano is in such a \"terrible\" state! LOL. But my hearing is not so good for the piano. As in, not as sensitive as compared to when I'm listening to other instruments, so I think me too cannot tell if there's any difference! My kids can though.

Sorry IJJ, I'm unable to help you cos my piano tuner is contractually bound to only work on that brand of piano. In any case, the last 4 tunings he did for me each took 6-8hrs. :yikes: Not sure if that's what you want.

IJJ, I'll PM you my tuner's contacts. Recommended by DD's piano teacher. Used him once and find him not bad. Very dedicated man. As for the piano mover, I used Chiu Piano the last time, but then again, that was more than 10 years ago. Chiu Piano was recommended by my Taiwanese piano teacher aeons ago.

I have a reliable tuner. He has a shop selling used pianos and does the tuning himself. Will PM you. For moving piano, the company that did my house move also moved my piano.
