What is a Basic Piano Tuning? It is when a piano is maintained bi-annually or yearly, the tuning pins should be holding the pitch of the piano very close to where the technician tuned it.  If it has been over a year and a half or more, the piano would most likely need a pitch raise/lowering.

• Pitch Raise/lowering  (6-15 cents +/-)      Add $40
• Pitch Raise/lowering  (16-25 cents +/-)    Add $60 
• Pitch Raise/lowering  (26-50 cents +/- )   Add $80
• Pitch Raise/lowering (51-75 cents +/- )    Add $100
• Pitch Raise/lowering (76-100 cents +/- )  Add $125
• Pitch Raise/lowering (101 cents +/- )        Add $150-175

What is a Pitch Raise/lowering?  When a piano hasn’t been tuned over a year and a half or more,   it most likely will require a technician to raise or lower the pitch, depending where the pitch of the piano has moved.  Humidity is the culprit that disturbs the pitch of the piano.  When the humidity is real high it can cause the pitch of your piano to raise.  If it gets too low it can cause your pitch to go flat.  Each scenario is different for each piano.  

Our Procedure:  When we arrive at your home, the technician will access where the pitch of your piano is and will explain to you what type of tuning your piano will need.  

Repairs:  Repairs are separate from the tuning.  Tuning has no affect on anything else in your piano.  I’ve had many people think that a tuning can cause keys to stick or some action part to go bad.  Neither is related to the tuning.  If you notice a problem with your piano, please let us know at the time of scheduling so we can be sure to schedule extra time to fix the problem.
