Regular Tuning: A Necessity, Not a Luxury
定期調音 不可或缺
In Hong Kong, we understand the challenges that your piano faces due to the significant weather changes and the humid conditions during spring and summer. While some sources suggest tuning your piano four times in the first year and twice yearly thereafter, we recommend a more tailored approach. For pianos in Hong Kong, we suggest scheduling tuning sessions 3-4 times a year to ensure your instrument’s optimal performance.
一般而言，建議鋼琴在第一年內需進行四次調音，其後每年兩次。但在香港，鋼琴在春夏季節交替，氣候變化差距大，而且環境潮濕。因此，大部分調音師都建議，每年安排 3-4 次調音，才可確保樂器維持最佳狀態。
Understanding the Need for Regular Tuning
了解定期調音的重要性
Why does your piano need to be tuned so often? Pianos are under immense stress, with each of their 231 strings holding approximately 170 pounds of tension. Over time, these strings slowly lengthen, whether you play the piano or not. This means that even if your piano sits untouched, it will go flat.
為什麼你的鋼琴需要定期調音？每條琴弦承受約 170 磅的張力，每部鋼琴共有 231 條琴弦，因此鋼琴一直承受巨大的壓力，隨著時日，無論你有否彈奏鋼琴，這些琴弦會慢慢拉長，意味著即使你的鋼琴放置不動，它也會走音。
When you buy a new piano, it’s crucial to have it tuned every three months for the first year. New piano strings stretch faster than older ones because they’ve never experienced tension before. This initial stretching phase can cause a new piano to lose its tune more rapidly.
當您購買一台新鋼琴時，首年進行調音至關重要。新的鋼琴琴弦比較老的琴弦拉伸得更快，因為它們從未經歷過這種張力。這種初始的拉伸階段可能會導致新鋼琴更快地失去音準。
For pianos older than a year, we recommend tuning every 3-4 months to maintain their pitch and tone. Leaving your piano untuned for too long could make it challenging to bring it back to standard pitch. The strain of raising the pitch after extended neglect could lead to broken strings, damage to the frame, or pin block issues.
對於超過一年的鋼琴，我們建議每三至四個月進行一次調音，以保持其音高和音色。長時間不調音可能會使鋼琴難以恢復標準音高。在長期忽略沒有調音的情況下，提高音高的壓力可能導致琴弦斷裂、損壞樑架或者鎖栓問題。
