Piano Tuning

Professionally trained technicians, with several generations of experience, will provide the utmost care and attention in adjusting pitch, tone, and touch when tuning your piano. Our maintenance program is designed to keep your instrument at its peak playing condition. Piano manufacturers recommend tuning new pianos two to three times per year. All pianos should be tuned at least once per year to keep them in top condition. Call for a tuning and automatically be placed in our maintenance program. We'll send you a tuning reminder card when it's time to have your piano tuned. Protect your investment and leave the remembering to us!

A "Piano Service Record" will be given to you by our technician to record the relative humidity level, temperature, date of appointment, technician's name and any tunings or work that has been done. Please keep this card accessible for each appointment. We suggest placing it in your piano bench for easy access and reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have always had my piano tuned, why does it now need 'regulating'?

While tuning adjusts the pitch or sound of your piano, regulating corrects the 'feel' and responsiveness, allowing you a full range of expression. Regular maintenance also minimizes wear of individual parts.
