A visiting technician who tunes by ear, explains what changed, and never rushes the last string
Standard tuning
For a piano tuned within the last year or so. Brings the instrument back to pitch, string by string, and checks a handful of notes for evenness.
About 1 hour - $140
Pitch raise, then tuning
For a piano that has gone flat overall, often after a year or more untouched. A first, rougher pass brings the whole instrument up to pitch so a second, fine pass can hold. See the pitch raise page for why this takes two passes.
About 2 hours - $260
Tuning plus minor regulation
A tuning visit with small adjustments to sticking keys, uneven touch, or a soft pedal that has gone loose. Not a full action rebuild.
About 1.5 hours - $195
Recital or recording touch-up
A quick check and touch-up before a lesson recital, audition tape, or house concert - scheduled around the event, not the season.
About 45 minutes - $95
