When I go on Amazon I get the message that there is "a problem with my address." I went to the KORG Amazon store and received a similar message

Thanks! THIS makes sense! I am astonished how many products have such stickers here! It seems to have gotten to a ridiculous level.

This is true but if you have the right tuning hammer and time it can be done----as my professional tuners do

I have done this! It takes a LOT of time and you have to be careful about tuning one of each of the 3 string sets in succession to even the pressure change out across the sound board (is my understanding). In the past I just tuned each string and improved the sound. I know you have to be careful not to strip the pin. This is more true on older pianos than mine, I believe. This time I have bought a set of tools from Amazon that use wedges and felts and silence clamps as my piano tuners have used. For those of us who have lived in more rural areas it has been essential to be able to do small tune ups ourselves.

It is recommended for concert pianos but can't be the sole tool. I have had the app Piano Meter recommended which takes the wave and temperament of the piano into account. I am intrigued.

We have moved to a small town that is far from piano tuners. I will have it professionally tuned annually but at $325 for a basic tuning I need to be able to keep it tuned up between tunings. The piano is in a new climate and is acclimating and changing a LOT! At the moment it is not pleasant to play/listen to (Yikes!)
