Do Kawai pianos require tuning and maintenance?

Acoustic pianos require regular tuning and maintenance. Kawai recommends 2–4 tunings per year, depending on environmental conditions and how often the piano is played. Concert pianos may require even more frequent tuning.

Beyond tuning, pianos benefit from periodic regulation (adjustment of the action) and voicing (adjustment of hammer tone) to maintain consistent touch and tone quality.

Environmental conditions matter: maintain stable temperature (65–75°F) and humidity (45–55% relative humidity) to protect the instrument. Digital pianos require minimal maintenance beyond dusting and occasional cleaning, and do not require tuning.
