Piano Maintenance Services

Advanced Tuning Service

225

Piano Tuning with special emphasis on tonal projection, sustain, and stability. Applies to all standard pianos (spinets, uprights, grands). Does not include pneumatic player pianos, Square Grands, or other unique instruments.

Pitch Raising

Pianos that have not been tuned for a long time - approximately 10% to 15% of their age or greater - will need a pitch raising before tuning. Requires Advanced Tuning Service. This service may be included with your Prelude Service.

Prelude Service

350

Includes the Advanced Tuning Service and a combination of voicing, adjustments and repairs as needed, vacuuming, soundboard cleaning, or pitch raising. If your piano hasn't been tuned for a while, or you know it needs more than just a tuning, this will get you going.

Sonata Service

600

Similar to the Prelude Service, but with additional regulation and voicing to improve action response and smooth out the tone across your piano's registers.

Tuning Service - Pneumatic Player Pianos

350

These pianos were fantastic in their day, but they do present additional challenges. This is a base price; actual fee may be higher.

Note: I will test your player before beginning, but cannot guarantee functionality when I am through unless it has been rebuilt within the past 10 years.

Square Grand Tuning

495

This base price includes 2 tuning passes. Repairing broken strings and action and pedal repairs are not included. Full day service is $1175 and focuses on making the instrument playable. If your piano cannot be repaired, a $175 assessment fee will be charged.

Service Call & Minor Repair

$125-$175

Are you having a mechanical, tonal, or technological maintenance issue? Many repairs - sometimes more than one - can be effected in this shorter, repair-only appointment.

Base Prices are shown above. Additional services billed at $100 per service unit, or $150 per hour.
