What is Tuning? What is Servicing?
Tuning is the act of increasing or decreasing over 200 strings, under tremendous tension, in order to align them to sound pleasing & correct when a single or multiple keys are depressed. Servicing encompasses making adjustments & repairs, along with tuning, to ensure your piano works for years to come. ©88 On Pitch

In-home & concert tunings - local town discounts of $10 - $34 off
Tuning your piano helps sustain its value, keeps beginners on track for proper ear training development, & helps keep pressure on the soundboard to sustain the tunings over time.
keytop replacements - as low as $29
If you have chipped ivories, worn or cracked plastics, yellowed keytops, or tops that are missing, I can supply you with the necessary size, shape, & color of tops to custom fit to your keys.
polishing & cleaning - starting at $20
A clean piano simply works better, prevents sticking and sluggish action parts, helps sustain your piano's value, and maintains the aesthetic beauty of the woodwork & exposed metals.
humidity systems installations - starting at $690 with tuning included
As a certified system installer for the Dampp Chaser Corporation, I've installed over 120 Piano Life Saver Systems. Designed to keep the relative humidity at 42% inside your piano, these totally silent systems provide just the right amount of protection.
voicing & hammer replacements - as low as $110
As the heart of your piano, when the tone quality is piercing and harsh, no matter how well it is tuned, it will not sound pleasing to the ear. By adequately voicing the hammers or installing a new set, we can re-introduce quality dynamics to your ears.
regulation - starting at $600
You want to regulate your piano's keys & action components once every 5 to 10 years if you're looking to keep your piano's performance level. Through a series of precision steps, your action may play better than the day you bought it. Don't replace it - regulate it.
chip, scratch, and finish repair - as low as $55
Heavy items may fall onto your piano or scratches may develop. Some of these can be remedied fairly quickly and at a low cost. If you have damage to your piano's finish, let me know and we'll see what we can do!
string replacements - as low as $39
Has your piano sat in a humid environment and the strings sound dead and dull? Let us put new strings on! New strings bring back a large part of the piano's volume and sound quality, regardless of the age of your instrument.
inspections - from $160 to $270
Before buying a second-hand piano from a private party, it truly pays to have it professionally inspected. You'd never want to invest into moving and servicing a piano if you don't even know if it can be tuned.
