Pianos that have not been tuned вЂњfor yearsвЂќ, or that do not play properly, should first be evaluated to insure that the instrument is capable of maintaining a proper tuning, and it is worth putting the money into the piano to bring it back to shape (see below).Pianos that have not been tuned for at least year or two, or have undergone a drastic climatic change, typically require what is called a вЂњpitch raiseвЂќ (basically a double tuning), and the rate will be between $225 and $300 (within our normal service area).On well-maintained pianos that have been tuned regularly (every 6 months) and do not require repair or regulation, the typical service call tuning charge is $150-$225 (within our normal service area).If the action of the piano has a problem before the piano is tuned, it will have the same problem after tuning unless repairs or regulation are performed to correct it.ДЄny problems a piano may have will be identified, and the customer will be informed of any issues that need to be addressed, either before the tuning begins, or within the course of the tuning as they arise. In fact, the action (or mechanics) of the piano are not regulated or removed during the course of normal piano tuning. The way a piano plays is NOT affected by normal piano tuning. Piano tuning is exactly what it impliesвЂ¦ the tuning pins will be moved (with a tuning hammer), and set to the appropriate tension in order to produce the correct sound. The simple answer to the question is that all pianos differ, and the rates will vary. Some of the most commonly asked questions about our services relates to piano tuning and how much it costs.
