Tuning Service Price List
note: to schedule a piano tuning or service appointment, use this email address eliotroberts@frontiernet.net
Since you can't bring your piano to us to be tuned (smile) . . . we must travel to you. Through more efficient scheduling, we have reduced our average fuel consumption to 1.25 gallons of gas per piano service call. Effective July 1, 2006 we will deal with the day to day uncertainty of fuel prices with a gasoline surcharge that is added to every invoice in the amount of 1.25 times the actual current cost of one gallon of gas. By doing this, we can keep our basic price structure intact through this season of change.
TUNING
PRICES:
(effective 7/1/2009)
Piano manufacturers generally
agree that pianos should be tuned at least twice a year under
ideal conditions. Ideal conditions means a modern home with central
heat and air conditioning that would keep the environment's humidity
fairly constant so that the pianos pitch would not drift more than 8
to 12 cents high or low between tunings. The further away from ideal
conditions, the more frequently a piano will need to be tuned to
keep it within the desired pitch range.
Standard tuning to International Standard Pitch (from within A4=440cps +6˘ to –10˘) when scheduled at least 7 days in advance in regular working day appointment time frames (see calendar).

Short notice scheduling or special scheduling in time frames that are not indicated on the calendar will be billed at list price.
When we reserve an appointment time for you, we
are not able to generate any other income during that block of time.
So, due to increasing “NO SHOWS”, failure to appear for an
appointment will be billed at the same rate as if the tuning had
been done.
We will gladly reschedule when payment has been made.
Any discounts offered presume immediate payment of this invoice.
Undue delay in payment will forfeit any and all discounts shown.

PITCH
CHANGES:
When a piano has been
neglected, tuned incorrectly, or exposed to severe climate conditions, the
instrument may be found a significant deviation from standard pitch. In
such circumstances, much care and extra work is required to bring
the instrument back to standard pitch, minimizing the risk of damage
to the soundboard and breakage of strings. While much care is given,
there can be no guarantee that such damage will not happen during a
pitch raise due to the stresses placed on the instrument because of
such neglect or abuse or unfortunate circumstances. Extra charges
will be made for pitch changes as follows:
Pitch changes from 12-29˘
+$ 15.00
30-49˘ + 35.00
50-69˘ + 55.00
70-89˘ + 75.00
