Attended a PTG chapter meeting as a guest yesterday. One room over - this would be 25 years since I sat in that very spot for my early morning music theory class. Same curtains! At least the old wooden chairs are gone haha!

While I was there, I had to take a walk around. Roughly 10 years ago, Fifth Octave, LLC started. The purpose: to give a facility make-over in the music department. We donated the acoustical fabric covering many of the bulletin boards. (Yes, they are also flame retardant.) We also created a rehearsal space with sound absorption.

Time flies but music always lives on. Decades, or even a score and 5!

Personal note: I think it's pretty cool that these boards still look decent after 10+ years of students, hallway traffic, and postings.

My Tribute (To God Be The Glory.) beautiful song, I've been seeing this a lot online. Found my recording from a few years ago and decided to share. I heard of it from a book of Dino Kartsonakis (mentioning disabled.)

Just saw Mark Fuller Music play it, and, I have to think I saw The Collingsworth Family at some point?

It's been sometime since performing in public. What good though is music if you keep it to yourself.



If anything, I hope those listening find peace and comfort in our chaotic world.

Pitch raise and adjustments to this Cable Nelson! Yup. These small pianos CAN turn out pretty neato.

Let's see what you folks think?

Dramatic key dip adjustment along with articulating testing. Notice one note catches? That's a let off adjustment. Debbie Gibson if ever your Baldwin needs anything :)

1956 Baldwin SD-6 freshly tuned. Still has sustain and power!

Many hours to re-adjust the key dip and subsequent adjustments thereafter. Worth it? Indeed. Much better dynamic control.

If I tuned your piano “perfectly,” it would actually sound off.

Piano strings don’t vibrate in perfectly even harmonics — a phenomenon called inharmonicity. Because of that, if we tuned every note to exact mathematical pitch, the octaves would sound narrow and unpleasant.

So a well-tuned piano is intentionally adjusted slightly off from pure pitch across the keyboard. This is called stretch tuning.

That’s why a great sounding piano is never “perfect” on paper — it’s tuned by ear, in a controlled way, to sound right.

Now you know.

Piano strings are under a surprising amount of tension.

When a piano is close to concert pitch, the strings, plate, soundboard, and wooden structure are all working together in balance.

When a piano has been out of tune for a long time, the overall tension drops. Bringing it back up to pitch often requires a pitch raise before the fine tuning can really hold.

That extra step helps the piano settle more evenly and gives the final tuning a better chance at stability.

What is something you may have noticed first when your piano first went out of pitch?
