Piano tuning in Gush Dan
We tune, regulate and repair pianos at home across Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan cities, from Bat Yam and Holon to Petah Tikva and Rosh HaAyin. Life by the sea is pleasant for people and hard on pianos, so every visit includes advice for the room your piano lives in.

Average daily low and high.
These are outdoor figures. Indoors, air conditioning dries the air in summer and heating dries it even more in winter, so the air around your piano can be much drier than outside. An inexpensive hygrometer next to the piano shows what it actually lives in.

What it means for your piano
Gush Dan sits on the coastal plain, a few kilometres from the sea, and the sea breeze keeps the air humid through most of the year. Wood takes up that moisture: the soundboard swells, the strings tighten and the pitch rises, while keys in their wooden frames and felt bushings start to stick.
Then the air conditioning goes on. Most apartments here run it for months on end, and a piano that spends the summer between humid outdoor air and dry, cooled indoor air moves its pitch back and forth all season. Close to the beach, in Tel Aviv, Yafo and Bat Yam, salt in the air also rusts strings and tuning pins over the years, which is why older pianos from seafront flats often have a few broken strings.
Spring and autumn bring the sharav: hot, very dry easterly winds that can drop the humidity sharply for a few days. Keep the windows shut on those days, so the piano doesn't take a sudden shock.
Caring for a piano in Gush Dan
- Keep the piano on an inner wall, away from balcony doors, windows and the air conditioner's airflow.
- In the humid months, run a dehumidifier or the air conditioner's dry mode, aiming for about 45–50% in the room.
- Keep the lid closed when you're not playing, to slow down moisture and dust.
- If the piano is near the sea, ask us to check the strings and tuning pins for rust on each visit.
When to tune
Twice a year: in spring, after the winter rains and before the long air-conditioning season, and in autumn, once the summer heat is over. Pianos that are played a lot, or live in seafront flats, benefit from a third visit.
