Tuning

I offer tuning and preparing instruments for concerts / recordings, taking care of the instruments during concerts / recordings.

Types of instruments:

• harpsichord
• spinet
• virginal
• clavichord
• pianoforte / historical piano
• square piano
• positive / small organ

Comfort when playing an instrument is paramount. That is why it is worth making sure that it is well tuned.

Due to their construction, historical instruments are tuned more often than contemporary pianos. It is assumed that the instrument should be tuned before each concert, after transport, and during professional recordings, even several times a day. As the main building material of these instruments is wood, they are susceptible to atmospheric changes. Therefore, it is important to provide them with stable conditions as far as possible. By this we mean constant temperature and humidity (45-60%). Especially in winter, we make sure that the instrument is not in near the heater and we try not to open the windows, so as not to let in cold and dry air.
