Pitch Raise/Lowering (Pre-tensioning): $35.00
(Charged in addition to the regular tunng rate when the piano has lost tension and has fallen more than 15 cents below standard A-440. This happens when extreme humidity changes have left the piano quite sharp or flat of standard pitch. It is also common on extremely old and/or neglected pianos, and is usually necessary on any piano that has not been regularly maintained. If it has been several years since your piano has been tuned, there is a very good chance it will need to be "pre-tensioned" before it will hold a tune. My Pitch raise/lowering rate is based on the fact that it takes about 1/2 the time that a fine tuning takes).

- 15 cents flat/sharp (or less) overall - no pitch-adj. required
(tune only - $75)
- 16-50 cents flat/sharp - charged 1 pitch adj. + tune ($110)
(50 cents = 1/2 a semi-tone...or 1/2 the distance between
two adjoining keys on the keyboard, C and C# for ex.)
- 51-100 cents flat/sharp - charged 2 pitch adj. + tune ($145)
(100 cents = 1 full semi-tone...or the distance between
two adjoining keys on the keyboard, C and C# for ex.)
I will always notify you (and show you) when a pitch-adjustment is necessary.

Mileage = $15.00
The easiest way to figure what you will owe for mileage: Take the distance from
I-44 exit 150 to your house, minus 20. That's the dollar amount
owed for mileage. 35-20=$15
