A basic piano tuning fee is $175. If the piano pitch is low to the point it needs extra work, pitch changes are $95. Although piano tuning usually takes 45-90 minutes, I recommend reserving two hours for complete service.
Looking For A Bargain? Quality Is The Best Economy!
Customers pay thousands of dollars for their instruments and to gamble on piano care to avoid a small difference in tuning cost is an unnecessary gamble.
While everyone enjoys a bargain, I am concerned that bargain~shoppers may not realize the enormous differences among piano tuners. Only schedule a qualified professional piano tuner to care for and maintain your musical instrument. Quality is the best economy.
Three issues influence a customer’s opinion of a piano tuner’s service:
The judgment of the person who recommended the piano tuner.
The personality and presentation of the piano tuner.
The price/fee/cost of piano service.
If a piano tuner/technician’s prices are low, it raises doubts; “If he is so good, why are his prices lower than my last tuner, or lower than my friend’s piano tuner?”
Piano Tuning ~ There Is a Difference!
Many piano tuners adopt lower service standards, believing customers can’t distinguish the difference in quality. More often than not, the bargain-basement tuner underestimates his customers; customers can and do notice the difference.
