Will moving my piano throw it out of tune?

I would like to dispel a common myth that I hear at least a few times a week here at Brigham Larson Pianos. The myth  is that moving a piano will cause it to go out of tune.




The fact is piano strings change very little between moves. Whether you are moving a piano to another place in your home, another city, or even out of state-it's tuning will not be effected very much.  The main cause for a piano to go out of tune is due to the climate much more than from being moved.

Pianos are tough instruments. They are designed to withstand up to 20 tons of tension from the strings alone and are built to last several decades.

If you had just bought a new piano, and it has received a good tuning at the store, it will still sound great after being moved to your home.

So do not fret about rolling your piano into the next room or even trucking it over to the next town! Your piano will be OK. The important thing is to make sure you have regular piano tunings to keep your piano sounding it’s best!
