Make your piano sound beautiful again.
I understand the intricate details that can affect a piano’s sound—whether it’s regular wear, changes in humidity, or the effects of time. Each tuning session is a blend of art and science, and I take great care to listen to the nuances of each instrument, fine-tuning them with precision.
My aim is always to restore the piano to its optimal tone, allowing musicians to play with confidence and passion.

It’s recommended to tune your piano at least twice a year, ideally after major seasonal changes like spring and fall. However, if you play frequently or have a new piano, you may need more frequent tunings.
Pianos are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, which cause the wood and strings to expand and contract. Regular use and aging can also affect tuning stability.
A standard piano tuning typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the condition of the instrument.
Piano tuning requires specialized tools, expertise, and experience. Attempting it without proper training can damage the instrument, so it’s best left to a professional.
The cost varies based on the piano’s condition and your location, but in general, you can expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a standard tuning.
During a tuning, a professional adjusts the tension of the strings to align with standard pitch. The technician may also inspect for any issues that require repair.
Maintain a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity, play regularly but gently, and avoid placing the piano near vents, windows, or direct sunlight.
A pitch raise is a special tuning procedure needed if your piano is significantly out of tune, often due to long periods without maintenance. It involves multiple adjustments to stabilize the strings.
