Piano Tuning Fee

Price for basic tuning

In Regards To Piano Tuning,
Quality Is The Best Economy!

Customers pay thousands of dollars for their instruments and to gamble on piano care in effort to avoid a small difference in tuning cost is an unnecessary gamble.

I fear potential customers who shop for the cheapest piano tuner do not recongnize the enormous differences among piano tuners. While everyone enjoys a bargain, the care of your piano should only be trusted to a qualified professional. Quality is the best economy.

There are three issues that influence customer’s opinion of a piano tuner’s service:

1. The opinion of the person who recommended the piano tuner.
2. The personality and presentation of the piano tuner.
3. The price / fee / cost of service of the piano tuner.

If a piano tuner / technician’s prices are low it raises questions; “If he is so good, why are his prices lower than my last tuner, or lower than Aunt Susie’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.

Not only is that attitude unethical, but these tuners seem unaware of the “wow” factor. When an exceptional piano tuner services a piano, often the customer responds with; “Wow what a difference!” When given the opportunity to compare high quality piano tuning with poor piano tuning, a pianist can distinguish the difference.
