Paul Kenny - Piano Tuning and Repairs. 

One of the major concerns of piano owners is how to keep it in tune at all times. Remember that a piano is a stringed instrument, just like the guitar, it goes out of tune every now and then especially when the strings get loose.
There are some primary reasons why we need to tune a piano. Remember that the piano is made up of wooden frames. When humidity rises, the wood swells which affects the quality of sound given off by the piano. This is why the piano needs constant tuning. 
Piano tuning is not as expensive as you think. The longer your piano exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended tuning requires, the more expensive it will be for you to have your piano tuned. If you want to save more money, after buying your piano have it tuned regularly as required by the manufacturer.

Piano Tuner: Tunes Pianos and carries out any minor work on the piano while tuning on location at the clients home, studio or venue.  
Piano Technician: Tunes Pianos and carries out any minor work on the piano while tuning on location. A Piano Technician also carries out major repair work, rebuilds, restringing, etc. to pianos and also pianolas which means moving your piano or pianola to the technicians workshop. 

Do you need a Piano Tuner or a Piano Technician ?
Please note that I only tune newer style pianos such as Yamaha, Kawai, Alex Steinbach, Samick, etc. Older style pianos I would suggest contacting a Piano Technician as the piano may need extra attention such as a pitch raise. 
You really have to know that piano tuning is part of your responsibility as a piano owner. It should be done at least once a year. There are approximately 230 strings in every piano. Each string is individually stretched, tightened or pulled. It has to have at least 150 to 200 pounds of pressure in each stretch depending on its gauge of length and thickness. Piano manufacturers would recommend tuning 2 to 4 times a year. But if you are not using your piano regularly, once a year is enough.

Concert pitch (A440 - A above middle C vibrating at 440 times per second) has been universally accepted as the pitch to which all instruments should be tuned. It ensures that when instruments play together, they will all be in tune with one another. Pianos are designed and built to sound their best when tuned to A440.
