Piano Tuning
Our basis tuning charge is $85. Pitch raise will cost extra.
Pianos need regular tuning at least once a year to keep them up to pitch and playing the correct notes. Pianos that haven’t been tuned in a while are often more out of pitch and require two or more tunings to obtain a stable at-pitch tuning.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PIANO NEEDS TUNING?
When in tune, the strings vibrate at the same rate to produce a single note. When out of tune, there will be a wavering sound. This wavering will distort the note creating an uncomfortable sound. The competing strings may even cancel out the sound.
HOW SOON AFTER YOU MOVE SHOULD YOU TUNE YOUR PIANO?
When you’ve moved or when you’ve purchased a new piano, it’s recommended that you wait at least 3 weeks to allow the strings
to settle before tuning your piano. A piano needs time to adjust to changes in tension from temperature and humidity fluctuations during the move and in its new environment.
