Rates and Services
Tuning
The fee for a standard tuning is $200 (plus tax). This includes minor pitch-raise.
If a piano has not been tuned in a long time the piano may require multiple tunings. This would need to be assessed on-site.
Pianos are generally more stable when they are tuned regularily. Ideally, a piano should be tuned at least once a year. Pianos are affected by seasonal changes, and tuning a piano every year helps to ensure that it does not fall flat in pitch. It is also an opportunity to detect and address any maintenance issues that may come up.
Repairs
Repairs are priced on an hourly rate and must be assessed on-site. Minor repairs may be included in tuning fee if time allows.
Regulation
Regulation involves adjusting the components of the mechanism of the instrument to ensure that it is performing to its optimum for the pianist. Regulation adjustments should be done every few years to keep your piano performing at its best. This is based on an hourly rate and must be assessed based on what your piano needs.
A typical regulation costs between $150 to $300, or more if your piano needs extensive regulation work.

Voicing involves working with the hammers and action to adjust the tone of the instrument. This is based on an hourly rate, and can vary from piano to piano.
A typical voicing costs between $150 to $300, or more if your piano needs extensive voicing work.
