MUST KNOW FOR ALASKA PIANO OWNERS
In Alaska, if you get your piano tuned after the summer ends, or the
beginning of winter, it will not last too long until you have to get it
tuned again
Why?
The most important factor causing pianos to go out of tune is the change
in humidity from season to season that occurs in most temperate
climates, affecting all pianos, good and bad, new and old, played and
unplayed. Unless your piano has been installed with a piano-specific
humidifier, it will most likely be effected by the change of seasons
regardless of any home-humidifiers.
Therefore, in Alaska, the enormous climate change between summer and
winter makes it wise to have your piano tuned twice a year. You should
avoid times of rapid humidity change and seek times when the humidity
will be stable for a reasonable length of time. Turning the heat on in
the house during fall and winter, and then off again in the spring, both
cause major indoor humidity changes, and in each case it may take a few
months before the piano soundboard fully stabilizes again at the new
humidity level. So in Alaska, I would recommend your piano tuned once
around June-July and once around December
