Piano Tuning
|
|
Price: $75 + travel
Time: 30-120 minutes, depending on the condition of the piano.
|
Description:
Piano tuning may look simple, but it is actually a complicated process. Ironically, pianos are actually NOT IN TUNE! There is something called the equal temperament system that is utilized by pianos in order to allow any key signature to be played, without each one sounding different. (google this topic to learn more, it can be very interesting!)
I will open up your piano, and begin by resetting the temperament if needed. This process starts by blocking the outside strings (there are three per-note for most of the piano) and tuning only the inside strings. After this, the outside strings are tuned to their middle-string-neighbor, and this process goes out to the ends of the bass and treble sections.
Let me know if anything is not working properly on your piano, and I would be happy to inspect it and give you a report free of charge.

- What is the purpose of buying a piano? Is it upgrading to a better instrument, or perhaps just something to learn on?
- Where will the piano go? This makes a big difference if it is a big or small room, or on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex with no elevator.
- What is the budget? Remember, even though there are free pianos on craigslist, you get what you pay for.

Piano Repair, Rebuilding, and Refurbishment
|
Cost: Quoted upon inspection
|
Description:
I would be happy to help make your piano the finest instrument it can be. However, given that there are THOUSANDS of parts in any piano, this is a meticulous process. In order for me to give you the most efficient and professional service, I will need to inspect the piano before any work is to be done. This way I can be prepared with any materials, parts, and tools to do the job effectively and efficiently.
Possible repairs include:
- Key repair (sticky keys, broken key-tops, discolored keys, etc.)
- Body work (scratches, chips, etc.)
- Part replacement
- Shining/buffing of metal (the pedals, logo, etc.)
- Cleaning of the inside of the piano (good for allergies, or to remove smells from former owners)
- and many, many more.
