Regular Tuning Rate


Regular Tuning Rate:  $85.00
(This is your total cost, given that the piano is in descent shape
 with no repair work needed, does not need a pitch raise/lowering,
and is no more than 20 miles away).

--------------
Other Potential Costs

Mileage: $1.00/mile (one way)
(for distances over 20 miles away)

Example: If you live 35 miles away, you pay only for 15 miles.
Discounted rates for 2 - 4 prescheduled/prepaid tunings per year
Locally Licensed
   and Insured

Pitch Raise/Lowering: $40.00
(Pre-tentionioning, Pre-tuning, Pitch adjustment)

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.

Here's my policy on pitch-raising/lowering:
    - 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.
