How long does a standard tuning take?
A routine tuning typically requires 90 minutes to two hours of focused work. If your piano requires a pitch raise or minor mechanical repairs, the appointment will take correspondingly longer.

Our Capabilities
Tuning & Adjustments
Standard Tuning
For pianos serviced consistently within the last twelve months. We make precise micro-adjustments to align your instrument perfectly to standard A440 concert pitch.
Pitch Raise
Required for pianos that have gone significantly flat due to seasonal shifts, moving, or long periods without service. Involves a critical pre-tuning tension adjustment.
Concert Preparation
Meticulous fine-tuning, voicing, and action regulation. Tailored specifically for performance venues, demanding pianists, and high-fidelity recording studios.
Frequency
The Timeline of Tone
Wood and felt respond continuously to shifts in humidity and ambient temperature. A consistent tuning schedule protects your piano's soundboard, stabilizes string tension, and extends the mechanical life of the action.
Delaying service often results in the entire structural tension dropping, which makes a simple tuning impossible without a preliminary pitch raise.
First Year (New Pianos)
Recommended 3 to 4 times a year. New steel strings stretch considerably and the wooden structure needs time to settle into its permanent environment.
Regular Maintenance
Recommended 1 to 2 times a year to maintain optimal pitch, address minor action wear, and preserve the instrument’s acoustic value.
Studio & Stage
Tuned immediately before every recording session or major public performance to guarantee flawless acoustic clarity.
Clarifications
Common Questions
How do I know if I need a pitch raise?
If your piano has not been tuned in over a year, or if it has been moved recently, it likely requires a pitch raise. We will assess the string tension during our initial diagnostic and discuss it with you before proceeding.
