Happy Spring Equinox. It’s the day when night and day are exactly the same length, and we know that spring is on the way. It’s also the perfect time for Spring Piano Tuning Tips.
Around Central Virginia, we’ve had a few nice springlike days already, and quite a few trees are bursting out in blossoms. So are the crocuses. And chances that it’s getting cold again are minimal.
So that means that the temperatures are going to be relatively moderate over the next few weeks and even months, until things heat up for summer.
The Spring Piano Tuning Connection
So what does spring have to do with piano tuning? Well, spring is the perfect time to have your piano tuned! And for a good reason…
You probably already know that pianos are very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. And both of these are pretty stable right about now, in spring. This means that if you have your piano tuned now, it will last for quite a while, especially if you do your best to protect it from the upcoming summer heat and humidity.
Spring Holidays
And that’s not all! There are various spring holidays coming up. A lot of families enjoy playing their piano around Easter, Mother’s Day, and other holidays. It’s great fun to share songs and enjoy some Easter piano music.
Whether your piano is still pretty much in tune or whether it’s producing some sour notes, I can make it sound perfect in a hurry.
Just call me (or better, send me a text message at 804-677-2416) to schedule a time for me to stop by and take care of your favorite musical instrument.
If you have kids who are practicing the piano, it’s especially important to make sure it’s in tune. After all, you want them to stay motivated.
Pianos in Schools and Churches
With the holidays coming up, there are big demands made on pianos in schools and churches. So they have to be in top shape – and sound their best. This means that now is also the time to have your school piano (or school pianos) tuned. And the same is true for pianos in churches.
How to book an appointment for spring piano tuning?
I am Blanton Bendall, your trusty Richmond piano tuner. And the best way to book an appointment with me is to send a text message to 804-677-2416. I will then get back to you promptly.
Why Text Messages Work Best?
Why a text message and not a phone call? I spend my days tuning pianos, and can’t easily take phone calls while I’m doing that. And checking voice mail is also something that can be challenging in that environment.
But I can always take a quick peek at my phone to check my texts, and if you leave me a message, I can either text you back or call as soon as I’m able to.
I do recommend that you book an appointment soon. I will do my best to fit you in as soon as possible, but as my schedule fills up, it might be more challenging to find a good time that suits you, especially before Easter.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy the nice spring weather. And I look forward to making sure that you’ll be able to enjoy your piano as well, with a perfectly timed spring piano tuning.

Did you notice? Spring is in the air! It looks like we’ve made it through most of the cold weather, and the temperatures are more normal again. Your piano will certainly appreciate that. And Easter piano music may be part of your spring enjoyment, which also makes March the perfect time for tunings.
Pianos in churches require more regular care than pianos in private homes. And that means that church piano tuning and repair services need to be performed more frequently.
