Basic Tuning—Our fee is $100 After our pre-tuning inspection, we will tune the
piano to A=440 pitch, or to some other pitch you specify. We use a state-of-the-art Sanderson
Accu-Tuner electronic tuning device and store your piano’s optimal tuning for
later reference. Pianos are designed
to sound their best when tuned to A=440 Hz.
Most often the piano is tuned to an “equal temperament”, although
other historic temperaments can also be accommodated. Please call us. |

Pitch Raising—Our fee is $50 for each
pitch raise required, not to exceed $100 in addition to basic tuning fee It is often said that to tune a piano, it must first
be in tune. If your piano is in an
unstable environment or has not been tuned for over a year, the strings may
have stretched and greatly lowered the pitch of the piano, as compared to
A=440 Hz. If this is the case, we
would perform a “pitch raise” on the piano.
Depending on how far out of tune your piano is, it may require one or
more pitch raises before the fine tuning can be done. |

is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even
stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.” Bill Cosby |
