Where can I find a self help guide to tuning an old piano?
It’s a really old piano, at the school I go to. I really love to play, but it needs to be tuned badly. Any suggestions would be welcome.
My school doesn’t have a piano teacher, I was kinda hoping I could getting done without costing myself a whole lot of money. I don’t make a lot here at school.

ask the piano teacher…. don’t ask here…
tuning a piano is very delicate work and takes alot of training and skill. Tell the music teacher that the piano needs tuning, they should be able to get it done by a professional
the best place to look is an Music store the sells Instruments. Or even going online to borderstores.com or even amazon.com
find an old music teacher that hi or her age nearly to your piano’s age to tune it
There are tuners everywhere, just look one up in the phonebook and have them tune it. It shouldn’t cost too much
go to a store called Schmidt Music. I’m not sure if it’s a national music store and maintenence company, but I do know there is plenty locations in MN
Since you stated your school doesn’t HAVE a piano teacher, guess you can’t ask the piano teacher. (So go ahead and ask here!)
I wonder if someone at your church may be able to help or know someone? If you can’t find anyone, and have to resort to the yellow pages, maybe you could get them to make a “donation” of tuning the piano (since it’s for a school…I’m assuming not-for-profit school). They may not know until the end of their fiscal year if they need a tax deduction, so you may have to wait for them. It’s worth a try though. The worst think they can say is, “No.” Which is no big deal. You’ll never know unless you ask.
Also, another business could pay for the tuning, and write it off THEIR taxes, so if you’re good at asking for donations, that may be another route to go. I wonder if there is a university with a music department that may be able to give you some direction?
Good luck!
