Pricing in this trade varies for real reasons, and any technician who quotes a firm number before seeing the instrument is guessing. Here is what actually moves the price.
Tuning
A piano within roughly 10 cents of pitch needs one pass. A piano that has drifted far flat needs a pitch raise first, then a fine tuning — meaningfully more time, sometimes a second visit. Age of last service is the biggest predictor.
Repairs
Small in-home repairs (a sticking key, a single string, a pedal adjustment) are typically handled within the same appointment for a modest add-on. Regulation is priced by scope: partial regulation on a few sections versus a complete action regulation are very different jobs.
Restoration
Restringing, pinblock replacement, action rebuilding and refinishing are quoted individually after a shop inspection. We provide a written breakdown so you can stage the work over time if that suits your budget.
What we never do
No callout fee that vanishes into a larger bill. No work started without your approval. No upsell disguised as urgency. Request a quote and you get a real number.
Honest pricing starts with an honest inspection.
