Regular playing affects the tension on the strings, causing the pitch to go “off” that is when a tuning is required.

The mechanical parts of your piano is subject to wear and tear. Repeated playing creates friction and wears off some of the internal parts of the keys’ action mechanism, causing them to go out of alignment which results in problems like uneven touch. When this happens, it is time to regulate your piano.

Regular playing will also affect the tonal quality of the piano as the hammerheads begin to flatten. That is when your piano will require filing and voicing to get back its rich piano tone.

So your piano needs regular servicing to maintain it in peak performing condition.
