SERVICES AND PRICING

Standard Tuning - $160

Keep your piano sounding fresh and properly maintained with a standard tuning every 6 months to 1 year.  This service is best for pianos that are part of a regular tuning regimen. Same price applies to Grands, Uprights, Consoles and Spinets.  If it has been 2+ years since your piano has been tuned, it has recently been moved, or gone through extreme temperature and humidity changes, then it will most likely need a pitch raise (see below).

Tuning Time: 1 Hour

Tuning with Pitch Raise - $240

If your piano has not been tuned in 2+ years, has recently moved, has been stored non-optimally, and is incredibly out of tune, it may need what is called a "pitch raise". Because of how much tension is on these strings, as I tighten one side of the piano the other side will loosen and go out of tune. During the pitch raise, each string is over-tuned so that by the time the first pass is complete they will have lowered to an acceptable pitch and will be ready for a standard tuning. This can take up to additional 1 Hour. In some extreme cases more than one pitch raise may be necessary.

Tuning Time: 2 Hrs

Basic Repairs - $80

NOTE: Price of a simple repair is typically $20 during a scheduled tuning.

Are some of your keys sticking or not working properly?  Is something not sounding right?  Something not feeling right?  The action of a piano is incredibly complex, and there are a myriad of things that can go wrong within each note. A repair visit is $80 in addition to the cost of the parts.

Time: 30 min - 1 Hour

Piano Evaluation - $80

Full piano evaluation and inspection. Great if you are considering purchasing, selling, or restoring a piano. I will take apart the piano and inspect the condition of the soundboard, felts, action, hammers, strings, pin block, pedals, bridges, amongst other checkpoints.  NOTE: This is not a piano appraisal. This is merely an analysis on the overall condition of the piano.

If your piano is tunable and you want it tuned the same day as the evaluation, the $80 will apply to the cost of the tuning.

Time: 30 Min
