I'd say the piano needs a good going over and needs to be tuned, maybe a couple of times close together to get the piano on pitch and stable. You really can do no better than let a proffesional have a look at it as you have no chance of sorting it yourself , infact you'll probably make it worse. The mechanics are quite complexed with your keys and hammers so it would be a bit like trying to rebiuld an engine from scratch if you had no clue what you were doing. In short, as long as your strings , string dampners , hammers and keys are all intact a piano tuner would be well worth your money now and in the long run . If you decide to try and tune it yourself then ( and ive only watched this) your best bet is to tune a series of notes from the mid-range as best you can using a tuning fork ( about an octave long ) and using this as a reference tune the rest of your piano ....... like i said before it will be almost immpossible and you'd be better off getting someone in .</p></blockquote><p></p>
