We appreciate your patience in scheduling your personalized service. Many of our clients have contracted other "tuners" from online sources like craigslist and online bidding websites, and have inadvertently hired amateurs with no real knowledge of how to properly service a piano. Trust us, it is definitely worth the small wait to get your piano in shape. Don't go with the tuner who is available tomorrow. There's a reason why that's the case!



Affordable

While many technicians start at $175-225 a visit, our services start at just $99 for our recurring, 6 month recommended tuning schedule. All of our prices are transparent on this site, so no need to worry about the ever-present chance of “upselling” or “extra charge to do that” line. Simple, honest, fair, real prices – that’s why we are #1 in DFW.

Quality of Service

Service by a professional technician with a musical background and training to have your piano sounding it’s best. We aren’t the “other guys” trying to finish fast to make the next appointment. One at a time, each piano getting 100% attention and care. Our team can also rebuild, restore, and move your piano.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

If you aren’t happy with the service we provide, we will make it right or you pay nothing. That’s right. If you don’t love the way the piano is tuned up, there is no charge for the visit. Find another company in the area with that promise!

Technology

We use state of the art technology as our base tuning to ensure your piano is tuned perfectly under all circumstances. Our experience does the rest! Trust us, your piano will have never sounded this good.

Our Services

Time for services estimate arrival, service, and completion. Prices do not include applicable taxes. Not sure what you need? That’s ok. We will ultimately make a judgement call once we are on-site. The prices reflected are displayed to give you an idea of what to potentially expect. You are not obligated to pay for a service that is found to be unnecessary. Your instrument shifts lower in sound approximately 3-5% yearly (relative to the notes next to it).
Annual Piano Tuning – 6/12 months since last service, 0-8% adjustment
Pitch Correction – 2 to 5 years since last service, 8-30% adjustment, 2 tunings
Major Pitch Correction – 10+ years since last service, 30-100% adjustment, 4 tunings over 2 visits
Half Day Service – “The works”, a 4 hour block of dedicated service, essentially a minor refurbishment

This service is ideal if your piano has been tuned in the last 6-12 months and hasn’t dropped more than 8-10 cents below pitch (A=440). This service can also be used if you simply want a piano in tune with itself, or are dealing with a piano 40 years or older.

This service is a double tuning pass if the piano hasn’t been tuned in over 2 years, and hasn’t dropped more than 8-10 cents below pitch (A=440) around the total range of the piano. This service brings the most vulnerable sections of the piano (bass and upper treble) up to pitch so that a fine tuning can occur, leaving the piano perfectly in tune with itself, preferably at concert pitch, A-440.

If a piano has gone without tuning for an extended period, its pitch may have dropped far below A- 440. This means that each of its approximately 220 strings needs to be tightened considerably, adding tremendous additional tension to the piano’s structure.

The problem is that as each string is tightened, the additional load causes the pitch of previously adjusted strings to change. Thus it is impossible to make a substantial change in pitch and end up with a fine, accurate tuning in one step. Instead, a process called “pitch raising” must first be done, in which all strings are raised to their correct average tension levels. (Likewise, when a piano’s pitch is higher than standard, a pitch lowering procedure must be done to reduce string tensions to approximately correct levels.)

Only then can the piano be accurately tuned. In other words, accurate tuning is only possible when all strings are so close to their proper tension that only small further changes are needed during tuning. This service is split over 2 visits to ensure the safety of the piano and strings, with a cost of $124.50 per visit.

We understand that your piano is the investment of a lifetime.

For that reason, you should always use only professional piano movers;

those who specialize in moving pianos and organs exclusively.

The purpose of piano appraisal is to determine a fair price for a piano. Fair market value should not be confused with a piano’s worth as a musical instrument, or even it’s actual quality. While it is true that a better piano in better condition will have a higher market value compared to the same model built the same year but in poor condition, basic economic forces will ultimately determine a piano’s reasonable selling price.

An antique piano in near-original condition may be a finer musical instrument than a brand-new one, but its market value may be only a fraction of the price of a new piano.

Just like anything, pianos can run into mechanical issues, often at the worst possible time. For $85 (hourly), minor repair work can be completed and leave your piano in good playing condition. These repairs typically include sticky keys, pedal issues, minor regulations, etc. Most minor services can be done within the hour window.

Price does not include cost of parts (if applicable).

Please do not select this option if you are wanting an estimate for repair. Every piano will benefit from a tuning if it’s been over 6 months since your last tuning service. Suggested repairs/additional services will be discussed once onsite, generally at the end of the appointment, after your tuning.

The ultimate tuneup! Full pitch raise, regulation, minor repairs, cleaning, voicing – Recommended every 3-5 years. Essentially, this makes your piano play and sound like new again. Normal playing conditions take a toll on a piano. This service takes into consideration all of the above elements and restores the piano’s original sound, feel, and beauty.
