Tuning a piano in Rockland County? Call Charles Flaum, he has been tuning in Rockland for over 20 years. He was even featured in the Rockland Journal in 1992 (see the article on his website). For a tuning or more great information about your piano please email or call Charles – his website is www.rocklandpianotuning.com. Here is another little bit of piano wisdom to help you learn why tuning a piano is such an important regular maintenance. Regularly tuning a piano can extend the life of your instrument by decades, and either prevent or extend the time before you need costly repairs. Here is another answer to a common question:

Question: If I spot a crack or cracks in the piano, is that cause for alarm?

Only if your piano is brand new. Cracks in the soundboard of a new piano are highly unusual, and could indicate that the crate the piano was delivered in was dropped. If the piano comes with a warrantee, call the store and ask for a different piano, or a substantial adjustment of the price.

On an older piano, especially a vintage instrument dating back to the early part of the 1900’s, cracks in the soundboard are found more often than not. Ordinarily, the piano does just fine despite them. The notion that a piano with a cracked soundboard can’t be tuned is an old wives’ tale. In regards to tuning stability, most often it is other factors, such as loose tuning pins, are more important when tuning a piano than a crack in the soundboard.
