Standard Piano Tuning   $125 This includes evaluation of piano condition and bringing the piano back to a standard tune.  Piano should not have fallen more than 20% of a half step flat (or sharp).  For pianos that have changed more than 20%, a pitch raise is necessary for a stable tuning.

Tuning with Light Cleaning   $175 In addition to the above services, I will vacuum out the interior of the piano and will clean and dust the cabinet and key tops.  This is approximately 45 minutes of service in addition to tuning. Deep cleaning, including removing the action and keys to clean is an additional charge.

Pitch Raise  $ 75 (in addition to standard piano tuning rate) A pitch raise is an additional "pre-tuning" necessary when a piano is more than 20% of a half step flat (or sharp). When a piano is more than 20% out of pitch, it causes extra stresses on the piano to bring the piano up to pitch so a pre-tuning is necessary to avoid string breakage or an unstable tuning.  The piano is then fine-tuned as a separate step.   When a piano is severely out of tune, more than one pre-tunings may be necessary. This will be an additional price, discussed with the customer prior to any work being done. Occasionally string breakage will occur with a pitch raise or standard tuning. The string will be replaced at the below prices.

Piano Evaluation  $75 When a client is considering the purchase of a used piano, I will evaluate the condition of the piano both inside and out.  This includes testing the tuning pins and evaluating the action.  I will provide a checklist indicating the condition of the items that were inspected.  This does not include a monetary appraisal for value of the piano.

Service Call  $75 Each piano is initially evaluated as to its condition and tuning stability.  On rare occasions, a piano will be determined to be not able to hold a tune, or in such poor repair that other services must be performed before a tuning can be performed.  In such cases, when I make an evaluation but do not perform a service on the piano, a standard $75 service call charge is made.
