**Tension Adjustment
If it has been over 12 months since your piano was last tuned it may need a tension adjustment. This is basically an additional rough tuning (or two or three) to bring the strings closer to correct pitch so that a stable fine tuning is possible. The longer a piano has gone without tuning, the more likely a tension adjustment will be needed.
