A lot of people ask why my piano goes out of tune. There might be many reasons but the most common is environmental change. A piano is manufactured of steel, wood, and some cast iron. If you check your grand piano and lift the lid, you can see inside the steel strings. The strings are further linked to a cast iron plate and below the strings, there is a soundboard that is the main source of a lot of problems.
If you see the soundboard, you will see that it is crowned; that means it is lower at the edges and higher in the middle. If you check in the grand piano you will see some long strings crossing the long piece of wood also called the soundboard. Just like a violin, the strings of the piano also go on the bridge. The bridge converts the strings’ vibration created by the hammer towards that soundboard which also amplifies the strings’ vibration. This is all the process of how your piano makes a sound.

You will know that pianos usually absorb humidity. When it is a humid day, your piano may absorb humidity, and thus the soundboard may expand. As the piano’s sides restrict the soundboard, that’s why it doesn’t expand outwards.
Due to a lot of humidity, when the soundboard expands, at the same time it pushes the bridge and the strings. The strings are already tight, and when pressed, the tension increases, and thus the pitch increases. In that case, you will need a professional piano tuner to fix it.
The increase in humidity level is directly proportional to issues in the soundboard. Still, some latest pianos are not much affected by environmental change. Remember that the piano goes out of tune constantly, even if the change in humidity is equal to 5%.
