Piano Service
 |
I have been servicing pianos since 2003;
it is such a fascinating and challenging field. I ensure
your complete satisfaction with my work, ranging from
the precious heirloom spinet to a concert grand to be
used in a performance.
Looking forward to you being my client! I can service
any make and model, from a basic tuning to a complete
restoration and everything in between. Below is a chart
listing my basic fees.

FINE TUNING |
With a fine tuning, I will carefully and precisely tune your piano to A440 (standard pitch). |

For basic repairs, job estimates, or unwritten piano appraisals a service call charge will be applied. In the event your piano is irreparable, this charge will be applied. |

MILEAGE CHARGES |
For any of the above charges, a mileage charge will be applied if total traveled miles (or round trip miles) exceeds 30. |
$.50 per mi. |
IMPORTANT FOR FIRST TIME
CUSTOMERS: Please allow 10-15 minutes
of your time so that you and I can discuss your piano. We will
inspect the piano together after which I will quote an exact
price for the work to be performed. This is helpful for both
you and I to get to know your instrument and to decide what
it needs best!
HOW I TUNE A PIANO: I use an extremely accurate tuning device and my trained ear to tune pianos. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages which is why I employ both simultaneously. A huge result of a successful piano tuning comes from the skillful use of the TUNING HAMMER (putting the string where you want it and having it STAY THERE).
